Hi there!
I introduced myself a few weeks ago and was almost finished buying a 2013 searay 190 with the 3.0 tks engine in really good shape from a friend. The boat looks like new, has run 70hours never saltwater
"unfortunately" a local dealer offered a 2009 searay 205 with the 5.0 V8 engine with just a slight difference in the price, has run in 370 hours in saltwater but perfectly maintained.
Any reasons in your opinion not to take the v8? Any known usual problems with that engine especially in combination with saltwater?
Thx!
Chris
