Considering a New 2007 Osprey

[TooManyQuestions]

New to the site. Im hoping to be back on a consistent basis.

Im new to considering a pontoon. Had a 30-yr-old 14' Starcraft boat with a 40 HP that tooled around our small lake and took me tubing (why should the kids have all the fun). It served us well for the 3 years weve had it (paid a 1K for it).

Now considering upgrade to a 22' Osprey by Manitou powered by a 90 HP Optimax for $19100 total (6500 for engine).

Its a nice boat.

Was offered a 2009 Bentley at 19300 with a 90 Merc HP 2 stroke (I know of the restructure issue ... or at least I think I know)

I like the layout of the Osprey.

My first of too many questions.

Good deal on the Osprey?

It's an aircraft with a reputation for falling from the sky. But on at least one occasion, the U.S. military's controversial V-22 Osprey tiltrotor – a hybrid transport that takes off like a helicopter and cruises like an airplane, thanks to its rotating engine nacelles – did just the opposite.

Humm, good information, but I think we're talking boats, not planes ha!
