I agree, it is crazy $$$$, just the motor with reverse, trim and controls is crazy. And I like the prodrive because of the full power reverse. This will be the last boat I will buy for some time also. Plus my boy is getting older and loves to hunt and fish. This would be safer than the mud boat I have now. If it was just for me I would go the cheap route with a tiller handle and a plain jane flat. Plus at times the oldest daughter tags along too. So I need the room and I like the center console boats. I can hunt and fish comfy with both the kids with no worries. Not to mention the surface drives are pretty darn reliable. Just not looking for headaches with the kids and would fish and hunt out of it so it would serve as a dual purpose.
