Just a thank you to Ben for all that good info. I really learned a lot and appreciated the time it must have taken to share it. Answered a lot of questions I've had about batteries over the years.

For what it is worth -- I have owned 2 Fishers, a 16 foot w/25 HP Merc and a 18'6" w/ 115 Merc. They were both good boats. I run the 18 now on inland lakes, as well as the great lakes and Lk. St Clair, but it is a deeper V. I don't know about the big water/fiberglass debate for that boat. I'd love to have that 4 strk. Is it a 2004 also? You might try to offer the dealer less, if you like the boat. FYI - you can get an idea of what a used boat or motor range of value is at http://www.nadaguides.com Hope this helps and good luck
