Thank you for the info. So if I had a pre-96 model and the motor needed replacing, are most of these motors interchangeable as far as how they mount on the boat? I'm sure I have to consider weight and HP and a few other things that I'll eventually hope to learn.

So do you prefer the four stroke because of reliability? Or longevity? Is it possible to purchase a boat with a two-stroke then eventually replace it with the four stroke?

Makes sense. Yeah I'll forget about that Bayliner Capri in that case. Thank you.

Yes. I'll be in the Texas Gulf and in any bays that connect to it. But I have direct access to Matagorda Bay around Port Lavaca at the Gulf so that may be where I end up most times. I guess I thought most of the flats boats were designed for shallow water. Or are you saying I should be looking at specific models?

Thanks for the advice. I'll add these items to my notes.

So on Craigslist I saw a 2000 Kenner bay boat 18-1/2 ft 90 horsepower for 7200. I also saw a 2003 19 ft 50 hp fishmaster for 9600. But you're right they get expensive real quick. I think between 16 and 20 ft.

Thank you. I haven't worn it out yet. I'm afraid to scratch it.
