Spares intrepid had the optis, my whitewater had hpdi yamahas. After reading through the ad though I feel it's overpriced, has some stringer issues.

Depending on your time frame Randleman and pocketbook you could find a project hull for cheap and have it set up how you want. Like any boat you pay the piper one way or another. I think it was Ferm who said whatever you think it will cost multiply it by 3-5 and how long they say it wil take also multiply by 3-5. lol

Yeah, I believe Opti and HPDI are the same beast when they break...high dollar.

As for time frame...I would like to fish my " new boat" sometime this year, preferably sooner than later...but I don't mind fixing stuff and understand that takes time, which I will have more of starting June 1, when I retire.

As for pocketbooks, mine is always fairly thin with 2 kids in college and a 3rd 2 years away from it.
