I just paid off my 2006 18ft Nitro and installed two new HB graphs. I have been seriously contemplating trading up for a newer bigger boat. My boat is garage kept and I have the motor serviced regularly. After reading these posts, I am going to just keep it. Maybe I can win a new one in a tournament or something. Having a paid for boat has a nice feel to it.

I like the deisel idea but if it won't run 80 it won't sell in this day and age.

It will hit a wall eventually.
