Someone I know has one with a 115hp Evinrude two-stroke and uses it on the ocean bay areas around Marblehead, Mass. Has had it for over ten years. Apparently, there's a real good Evinrude dealer-mechanic in Marblehead for service. The boat basically looks like new after ten years ocean use moored all summer in salt water with the outboard out of the water.
No doubt it gets cleaned, waxed, bottom painted and maintained and it still looks great......very well constructed.
Probably Boston Whaler people will look down their noses at a Hydrosport, but who cares!
