Will the extra foot in length made a big difference in the ride? Still looking at a 2006 X19 or a 2014 H18PFC. The x19 has around 400 hours on the Otpimax with low water pickup. The H18 has 50 hours on the Yamaha 115.
I like that the H18 has a wider front deck. But also like some of the X19 better. Also the X19 has a none stock 2002 Optimax, more like a 225. 10" hydraulic jack plate.
