I guess today would be the first of two days that I will be happy owning a boat, since it is the day I bought it.
1996 Sylvan 196
5.7L Mercruiser V8 / Alpha 1 outdrive.
Didn't get any real good pics before we parked it and it got dark, but here she is.
New driveway ornament!

Outdrive was quite clean. Skag looks like it's been hit a couple times, and the prop has some dings, but it still went like hell on the Mississippi.

Only major flaws are some cracks in the vinyl on the rear seat and one on the sun-pad/engine-cover.

350 Chevy. Only 80 hours on the clock! Practically brand new. WOT is about 4200 RPM which is on the lower end of the max-range (4200-4600), so maybe a different prop is in the future next season or later. Still goes about 47-48mph on the spedo. Didn't have a GPS to verify, so who knows.
