Im considering buying this boat. it’s a 98 bay quest. Has only 97 hours on boat and motor. what can yall tell me about these boats? i did a little research and it’s a composite build no wood.

I cannot comment on the boat, but I have that exact motor. It is one of the best 2 cycle motors ever made, IMO. The OMS oil injection runs at about 60::1 and allows the motor a precise mix of fuel and oil and allows good trolling and idling. It has 6 carbs or 2 three throat carbs, depending on your definition of a carb. It also has a 35A charging system, and a dependable PTT system.

I run one on my 21' Seaswirl DC, and it handles the boat with good power and acceleration. Top speed is marginal, however, IMO.
