Uboat-I've been following that ribside for some time.
I am 50 miles North in Everett/Marysville.

Look for an Idaho or Montana lake boat. I picked up a very nice (7/10) 1977 Montauk, with the original 1979 Johnson 70 Hp "Looper" 3 cylinder 2 stroke....price was 1/3 the ask for similar age and power in the Seattle market. All it took was a road trip to Boise... my trailer has some issues I am working, but I and the wife will be out whale watching again soon. That 35 year old motor gets her on plane fast, even with 5 onboard. With two people (approx 500 lbs), 24 gallons of gas and a friend on a 5 ft diameter pull toy we hit 32 on the Gps. They are out there, just not in metro Puget Sound..
