Macojoe, I noticed that from some of the reading I did on this forum before I called. I think he was more interested in trying to not discourage me with having to buy a higher horsepower motor (In other words....more expensive!). He may be one of those "anti-horsepower" types......Sounded freindly and professional enough over the phone, but we'll see later today (if I can sneak out of work early enough) or tomorrow. In the mean time, I think the boat bug has bitten me bad. Instead of thinking about work, I can't stop thinking of what I want to do if I get this boat....especially after reading a lot of these forums.....Heeeeeelllllllllllllppppppppppp Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! ;D

P.S. I'll probably be asking a lot of questions on this forum in the near future! :)
