    Welcome.
    1) When was the gas tank replaced?
    2) I believe that's a single with a lot of windage. (hard to dock).
    3) Slow boat.
    4) Sea trial on a windy day.
    5) Are you sure you want to get involved in a 22 year old boat as a 1st?

    1) Mine's 20 years old and still fine
    2) The base weere T Merc 180's...mine cruises at 25 mph @ 10GPH
    3) See #2
    4) Tab it correctly and it'll ride just fine
    5) I enjoy making my boat look better than most new ones :)
