If you like your boat and its in great shape, you can have it repowered to a newer dual prop setup. My guess is that will run you about $20K...

This is the answer I was looking for! I had a feeling this would be the case. Like I said, I actually love the boat and it's in great shape given the year. Handles phenomenally with the trim tabs, etc. and is actually quite spacious. Was simply looking to see if there were affordable alternatives available. Thanks, Woodsy.
