Painter,
You're absolutely right and appreciate your post. So how does one really know what they are getting? By inspection, sea trial, survey, etc., etc. Due diligence. And the first part of that...

Painter,
I'm not going to doubt you, but the competition has a LOT of 31 ft boats with 5.7s... all fuel injected. I have not demo'd a Maxum yet, but did recently demo a Chaparral 31ft with 5.0s,...

Painter,
Sounds good, however, I see NO down side to bigger engines. I still think once you're in a boat that's pushing 10K or better you NEED 5.7 fuel injected. I've been on too many that just...

Rdorigo,
Budget is not as much of an issue as size is. I have a 12ft wide, 13K boat lift that I can increase to 16K. Also, need ODs, as we have a lot of shallow water, and I like to beach it...

Painter,
Seen them on line and, yes, they look great. Need to see one in person. Do you have the 5.0s, which seem common. I'd be concerned that it would be underpowered, and hard to find one with...

Shrew,
To keep folks from sitting next to me when I'm the Capt. I like the ability to get up and move around, especially when docking. Also, my girlfriend likes to stretch out there and snooze.

Hava,
Sounds like a plan.
I have a different mission and need to stay small, with shallow water, beaching the boat and just don't have the need to throw many people on board. However, I agree...

Pascavone,
Can you explain that exhaust issue? Is that something recent? What year did that come out? And I assume old boats are grandfathered in, so you don't have to mess with them. My old...

Hava,
Looks good, but doesn't look like it has the port side lounge seat. Surprising none of the 13 listing I saw on Boat Trader showed that, but the helm seat is too large. So, people tend to sit...
