Anyway I have spent the day looking at boats, I am so confused ,I'm finding it difficult finding one that I'm certain I'm not going to find fault with somewhere along the next ten years,, I pretty much see this as my last boat..one thing I think I'm sure of is that I have grown very fond of the outboards, the I/o's are out ,to much trouble and maintainance...

It's tough to find a 20 -30 year old boat that hasn't been degraded by water saturation...
Fully restored can be found, and a couple of freaks now and then that were kept on trailer, such as mine but it's a hard find.
There's no such thing as a perfect boat, just what's best for you at the time.
