Thank you for the feedback and taking the time to do so! Encouraging points. Hoping still to see some pics (full of fuel) or even better see one locally. There are very few boat dealers anymore and none in our area, Miami, have one.

Thanks for your help! The 230 photos don't show the motor up. Still hoping a proud 230 owner will help me with photos of their pride and joy with the motor up and feedback about their boat. For the transom reach... I appreciate and understand your points. Still not sure about this though...
