    Boat value

    No disrespect you have valid points. It is what it is. Yamaha screwed people between 2002-2004 with that issue.

    Starting to regret buying this boat

    I don’t know if how many times I have sold my boat in my mind. It can be very frustrating dealing with many issues. Take them one at a time but I can assure you once that boat hits the water and running smooth you will forget all the BS you went through.
