Yes - if you look around you can find good deals on 70s-80s Seacraft Tsunamis and Scepters and Walkarounds - solid cuddy cabin boats. One of the guys on the site has an old Performer in the classifieds that you could get a deal on. The Perfromer used the same hull as the old Formulas (same company I think) and is even used today (like the Seacrafts) in many hulls...

Check out ClassicMako.com and ClassicSeaCraft.com - even if you don't run one of those boats there is a wealth of knowledge on those sites...

Elmo, what motor do plan to repower with?

Sorry I have not had computer access for a week or so. Thanks for all the feedback, I have added the additional makes to my list and am checking out the various websites. I am leaning toward repowering with a 4 stroke, 175-200 either yami or suzuki. I know a few guys from this site that own the yami's and I really like the fuel economy, reduction in noice, and not having to deal with the oil as I do currently with my Nissan 2 stroke. I don't have any experience with the etech's or newer 2 strokes so I will be looking into these as well. Thanks
