Bought mine at Irwin Marine a few years back. Best boat I have ever owned. I drove EVERYTHING before I bought, and even on the roughest day, the SD handled better than any other boat I drove. Since I bought one, I have noticed they are by far the most popular boat on Winni.
Mine has a Merc 350 Mag 300 hp with a Bravo III drive which is what you should get. A few came through with the Merc 5.0L 260hp, but definetly get the 350 MAG.
I have been on friends boats of the same size, and mine is by far superior to theirs in ride and fit and finish.
