That would be the one. The house on Colorado was actually my dive buddy's house (doesn't live there anymore). Me, him, and another buddy originally went in together and bought the V, and then a year later he decided to buy a Wellcraft 230 Sportsman, so I ended up buying him and the other guy out of the V. (His 230 is out of commission right now as well, he bought it in Destin without a trailer and borrowed a trailer to haul it home. We used it a few times and then he had to get the trailer back to the person he borrowed it from, so it's up on blocks right now)

I haven't called boat works to see what their price is yet, I will definitely do that before I order anything. Gotta at least give the local guy a shot to come close to, or match, the deal on boatstoreusa.com for the Teleflex NFB helm and cable (and free steering wheel, which I don't really care too much about, I kind of like my rubber-gripped wheel.)
I'll let you know what he quotes me.
