    Question for 180 or 185 owners

    I am considering purchasing a 180 Center Console, or a Tournament 185 (same hull). Could anyone who owns one of these comment about the self bailing scuppers. If you put 2 people in the back of the boat while the boat is at a dock, or fishing, will the scuppers backwash into the cockpit? Thanks,

    2000 Yamaha OX66 -250hp, 1500 hours too much?

    I'm looking at a used 2000 model Marlin with twin OX66 250's. The boat is in very good condition but I'm concerned because the engines have 1500 hours on them. Can some OX 66 owners tell me if they've put this many hours or more on their engines?

    What's my 2006 F-250 worth?

    I'm thinking about buying the new inline 4 cyl F-200 for my Adventure 208. Nothing wrong with my F-250 with only 425 hours, I just think the boat could benefit a lot with less weight on the transom. Anybody have a clue what my 2006 F-250 might be worth?

    Recommendation for a buffer

    What brand of buffer should I buy for compounding and waxing? I'd like to be able to get into tighter spots such as the edges of the walk around on my 208 Adventure. I realize the larger diameter pads are probably better for large flat panels like the hull sides. Recommendations are appreciated!
