Thanks, guys. It's bittersweet and just came down to time and money. The idea was that the V20 would sit in the driveway to work on during the summer until the fall when I go full-on fishing mode. The honey-do's and the house projects don't end so I just can't find the time to do any refurb work.

msb,
I shopped and searched and shopped for a decent re-power deal, but this was just too sweet to pass up.

MJ,
The General cost me over $4k putting two trannies into my Tahoe. No problems (knock on wood) with the Excursion yet. :-*

Tin,
The boat's from Maryland by way of Florida.

Skools,
6.8L V-10...it'll move the earth, but the price is 11mpg, about 9mpg towing. :P

rap,
Sea trialed it and she flies. It was flat calm so it wasn't a good day to test the ride in the chop, but a goose of the throttle had us running 45mph and it wasn't even wound up all the way. Fastest boat I've had ran maybe 35mph.

B-R,
I'd be a two-boat owner livin' in a doghouse. ;)
