MellowYellow:<br /><br /> I can add a thought or two, I bought a sea sprite last summer. 15 foot with a 40hp Johnson. Also maintained very well. Had it over at a local marina last year and the salesman came over, took a look at it and commented that boats made this well are the reason he has trouble selling new boats. <br /><br />Lots of good water to take advantage of here in upstate. I prefer Canandaigua and Keuka. Good luck with your boat, be good to it and it will provide years of sun, fun and memories.<br /><br />Giddyup<br /><br />Kramer

I can tell you that the Merc 1150 is **** near bullet proof. Take care of it and it will never leave you stranded.<br /><br />Craig
