Since it is clear to me that gas prices will never return to where they once were and will only go higher, I am thinking I will be much better off cost wise and down the road with an older hull that could use re-powering as opposed to a 5-10 year old boat with a carbed 2 stroke.
So, I am looking for feedback on what would be some of the best year GW hull's ,(10 - 20 years), to re-power with a fuel efficient outboard? It needs to fit into the category of being a 22-24 walkaround for family and fishing use, it will also be trailered. Another feature that would be nice is a full transom for safety with small kids, (ie the GW 228G). So let me know of any Grady's or other makes for that time period that are still going strong today and will continue to with regular care and maintenance.
I am sure I am leaving some key information out so hopefully someone points that out to me as this post gets read. Thanks in advance for any feedback.
