i am leaning towards the second one.  Older, but it looks like it is set up better.  More options, extra gas tank, larger engines..  The first one is newer and looks cleaner..

Its going to be a long, long winter...

Decisions, decisions, decisions...Boy that's a tough call they both look in good shape.  Will you be having them checked out by a surveyor?

i have outboards now.. I like them, but from what I hear, less maintenance with the I/B will better fuel consumption.  And also.. since I am buying used.. I have to take what I can find.  I was looking at a 29' Mako Cuddy with twin Yammies 250's, so its all about what i find.

I second the outboards. Imagine winter maintenance while climbing into a tiny engine compartment. No thanks.

Good luck Nick, I know you'll pick a winner.

very nice.. they are mostly the same, the only difference are the options.. that seems the way though.. here is another one I like..

The only think I don't like about this one is the transom.  It is like my Luna Sea.. you lose at least 4' off the back where as the I/B is flush to the stern.

JMO, but I'd rather lose a few feet than have the I/B. What matters is the fishing area. Do you lose 4 feet off that or is everything just slid 4 feet forward on the O/b boat and you actaully lose it off the bow which would be better weight distribution?

Here's my 2 cents on the cons,  1: Winterizing is more involved.  2: Thru Hull Prop shaft Packing will need more attention.  3: Gas Fumes in the bilge, If you have a fuel leak that's more than the blowers can handle, you have a Ronson lighter on your hands. I would imagine the newer boats probably interface the fume detector with the starter though. Just a few of the cons I can think of.  If I were to go Inboard again, it would be diesel. JMO
