thoughts on boat change
Thinking of changing from 78 closed bow, 19ft aquasport w/ 88'100hp merc ob to a 91' 22ft seaswirl striper w/ a 5 liter omc inboard /ob walkaround.
Boating one season, dock in a tidal cove in Pawcatuck river.
Major reason to consider change....spot for two kids to hang below, porta ptti, little more room, neat look.
Question is, would this be more to handle? Do people have (valid) opinions on I/O vs. OB for drive drain, and any opinions on seaswirl. Gas mileage, longevity of drivetrain?
Or should I stick w/ my boat that runs fine?
BTW, finally snagged some bluefish last weekend w/ poppers.after no luck all yr bottom fishing....my 9yr old was thrilled!
