Look for an older boat that's in decent shape, with a slightly less older motor that's been taken care of. They're out there (I know, I have one).
I have a 1992 17-foot Scout, with a 2001 90hp Yamaha. Not selling right now, but it's in decent shape (motor is great), and I'd sell it for around $5K. It's nice looking, and even has a t-top and new leaning post with backrest.
Point is, they're out there -- just keep looking on craigslist and boattrader. Be patient, and be ready to pounce.
Good luck!

Yo Wiley, howzit!?
Tried to login, until I remembered someone jumped on your new board and registered with "Ed P" before me (I can't believe you didn't reserve that for me
). Anywho, this'll do.The new look is great. Hope all is going well for ya!
TTYS,
Ed

BTW -- supposedly StaBil helps with the ethanol-added fuel (there's a marine formula to help protect against water buildup, etc.).

This has been a big issue for me for the last year or so now. I would suggest you all do what I did: write to your congressman/woman, and clearly/firmly/politely/directly list the pros/cons (I don't know of any pros), and why you want it stopped (the corn/ethanol lobby, etc.). Make it clear that you'll be watching their voting record, etc.
I'm currently shopping around town for a gas station that doesn't have ethanol (my regular place just got forced to use it). Unfortunately, this is one of those things where "voting with our wallet" is very difficult, since it's a gov't mandate (i.e. no choice). The sad part is, it's ALL political -- there's no good economic or environmental reason to do what we're doing.

Woulda been here sooner, but Wiley's email got dumped in my Outlook "Junk Mail" folder (heh heh).
This is nice... lots of space... room to stretch out, and we don't have to worry about farting or 'nuthin.
