Bigred07, First off thanks for your service. I've had three Yamaha's over the last 12 years and never had one problem with any of them. Great starters, troll down nice, plenty of power and pretty good on the gas. Now I've had 2-225's and 1-200h.p.,all on bass boats and have enjoyed every one. Get home and get that boat wet!

well back to boat shopping i'm thinking. Guy just emailed me and said someone is coming to look at it today. emailed him back and said my wife cant get there till saturday, and i will give him full price. said if he still has it he will sell it to me. ahhhhh!!!!!!! this boat shopping is driving me crazy!. just have to cross my fingers and hope for the best, it is a really good deal on a very nice boat, dont see it lasting until saturday though.

I also want to thank you for serving your country. I know the feeling of loosing a good buy, it just happened today. I was going to get a 1988 evinrude (I love evinrude) 40 hp, electric and pull start. It was the perfect motor for me and half the price or less at $1350. I was going to get it friday this week, but I just got the call it has been sold. The hunt continues...

Too many people forget that the wives are serving as well keeping things together at home. You do have a keeper BigRed07! Throw a couple of top raiders for me this year.
