I was admiring the block setup as well. Don't have a square dance on board! Very nice boat, indeed. She will serve you well. Gas will not be cheap, but it never is these days. I have a 192 Tournament that has, I believe, a 60 gallon tank. love being out on the water, but the fill up hurts at times.
Thanks all!
Blocks are standard procedure on the island. Stands would sink in the mud after snowmelt.
When I sold my last boat in February of 2013, the hauler's trailer sunk in the mud as soon as he lifted the boat after the blizzard melted, took 6 hours to get the boat and trailer into the street. He earned his keep on that one! Had to go to home depot and buy 50 feet of chains. Long day!
Usually the aft outers also get doubled up on the 2nd tier but no can do with recessed tabs.
Marina's mix n match with some stands but the dirt is hard packed from many decades of blocking.

Congrats, love mine ! 225 OX66's are great but as others stated..........love fuel. cruise at 27 mph +/- and enjoy 18-19 gph. Top speed will suck a thirsty 45 gph or so..........
Sold my 2000 Grady sailfish last summer having moved up. I did love that boat and she cruised easily at 30. Fast and a good looking boat. I have a 330 now but do miss her! Good luck with her!

My last boat burned 21 gph at 25 knots, so this boat is an economy model for me.
