Hi Phes and CB,
Thanks for your input! Much appreciated.
The Angler is still for sale...
Most of you seem to be leaning toward the Hydra, so I'll follow your advice. I'll go look at her on Friday and make my decision when I see her.
Truth be told, the Angler is really attractive mostly because it's so "new" looking and has all the "stuff"... (electronics/T-top/etc.)
However, with my 96 J/E on the Hydra, it would be worth much more than the Angler is even now, even though it's a 97 and the Hydra is a far superior quality of a boat...
Thanks guys! If anybody has anything else to share, I'm all eyes... :-)
