I am intersted in some info on your 31fa if the original poster isn't. You can shoot me an email at cmaire@bellsouth.net. I most likely won't be buying until late winter.
I am giving serious thought to selling my "73" 20' Mako along with my 2003 28' Hydra Sport CC with twin 250 Rudes (650hrs) and may consider going back to a 23-24' cc.
If you have any interest, the easiest way to get in touch with me is via email.
I have a 2000 Hydra-Sports 2390 Vector that I just repowered in February of this year with twin 175 Suzuki 4 strokes.
It is a great boat but I am itching to get a bigger CC - preferably 2000 or later with twin 4 strokes or ETECs.
Be careful what you itch for, as in, some of the other bigger boats won't compare. These 2390/2400CC Vectors are some serious offshore boats for their size. Fished mine out 100+ miles many times, never concerned. These boats are in a class of their own for their size/capability in my opinion...And rival many bigger boats.
I would love to see some real world performance numbers with those Zukes!

BiloxiGuy: It just jumps out of the water on plane. Runs 30 mph at 4000, 40 mph at 5000 and tops out just over 50 mph all trimmed out. Don't have fuel flow meters but know I don't spend much time at the gas pump.
And you are right about the Vectors. I love them and and I am looking at 2 bigger Vectors right now. A 26 footer and a 28 footer. Hope to sea-trial the 26 soon. If anybody has a 26 or 28 Vector on the list and wants to talk sale (or trade + cash), I am listening.
I just installed a hydro-hoist lift and got the bigger size anticipating a move up. It is sad to say but my boat looks like a size 6 shoe in a 12 box. I am all set up to move to the bigger boat and just need to find the right one.
Boutwell
