I have changed my mind on buying a topender to ship over. I have been looking at used boats instead. No ten year old quintrex is worth close to new price,, and a $10,000 premium form a dealer here has closed that book.
I have come across quite a few signature 492f in the low teens. Admittedly, photos only. Most come with an old 2 stroke and trailer of sus condition. Then I looked at repowering and wow, some pretty interesting prices. Yamaha and suzuki sure are holding their prices but etecs are rock bottom. Is this an opportunity for a bargain?
Anyway, info on these older boats is pretty short on the ground. Lots of 1550's too. How do the 1550 compare to hunters of the same era.? Is a transom and floor rebuild a sure bet with these boats?

I am limiting my budget to $20,000 all up with electronics and what ever else I may want. Not goin to cry about old 2s anymore either, lol. If an old donk dies, i wont lose sleep.
