Buying 6 - 7 mt

 Hi Team,

Thought I would ask here first if anyone is selling a boat in the range above. Kids want to swim to rotto in teams initially, then duo , solo. who am I to argue when my wife asks if we should look at a bigger boat for "team capacity reasons".

Looking aroung the 35k mark , not 2 stroke and not fazed if ali or glass although weight is a consideration. 

As for inboards, I feel my boat needs an engine attached to the transon (outboard) though I could not justify why to my wife. Its just a feeling ! any info on pros/cons for inboard outboard engines would be appreciated. Its just an engine right?

If the right boat comes along I will have a 18 Foot Chivers Thunderbird for sale with 115 Yammy saltwater and approx 600 hrs on it. 

Thanks in advance!
