Am planning on buying my first boat tomorrow after a successful test drive.
Very excited, and would love to hear any advice about what to look/listen/feel for in the test drive in making the final decision.

Friend had one, deep v monohull (tru-hulls were popular then) with an inline 6 165 Mercruiser. Would run 45 with 3 of us and pull tubes and skis without a problem. Very well made, solid boat.
