One of the main reasons I bought this particular boat was that it had the cockpit enclosure. It's only a few years old and in nice shape. That, and the fact it sits on a tandem axle trailer. Most are on single axles.
The only thing I'm somewhat unhappy with at the moment is the 9.8 Tohatsu. It starts and runs well (has electric start and alternator) but it's a bear to move around. 90+ lbs. I may swap to a 5 or 6hp with an alternator. They typically run around 60lbs. The Tohatsu wouldn't be an issue if it was wise to trailer it with the motor on the transom, but it's not. It's hard on the transom and 90+ lbs way back from the end of the trailer is not good balance for the trailer.
