had an 18' boat with a 260 mercruiser (350 chevy) in it a few years ago.
It cost me much more to maintain than the vette does (and it was in good shape also). I will say though.......it did see a lot of salt water action.
And on edit...........
I just realised where you are at. Never mind the salt water part
I mainly ran mine out of Corpus and freeport but occassionaly put it in Galveston (the boat.......not the vette).

The big boat has been pretty good to me the past couple seasons but before that it had a 351 now its got a 350 , the little boat has been almost trouble free for the past 4 years the vette I got as a project and is costing more labor than money at this point (got a parts car) but the waters getting warmer and it time to bring the big boy out of hibernation and the vette goes on the back burner for now.So at this point its a tie between the big boat and the vette but the boat runs and the vette does when it wants to.Oh nothing but salt
