FOUND MY BOAT!!! Spoke with a yacht broker last night ... down in SW Florida. They have a 2007 Montauk 170 that I looked at today and now have under contract pending sea trials on Tuesday:

-90 HP Mercury ... 2007 model that IS 100% Merc EFI (no Yamaha
power head)

-Total hours on boat and motor = 101

-Boat has been kept in a garage ... hull has no bottom paint and is shiny original gel coat.

Boat and motor and cushions as well as bimini and cover ... are all like new.

Due to being a bare gel coat hull ... and my plan is to keep her in a covered wet slip ... on the River ... fresh water ... I am going to have the hull epoxy coated and then bottom paint. Cannot wait. Was a worthwhile drive today for sure.
