Thanks, guys. Appreciate the feedback.
Some recent financial setbacks have put me in the exact position I didn't want to be in---cutting it close with no room for error.
If the motors and transmissions were good, the only other big ticket item to blow my budget would have been a 30 year old gas tank developing leaks the first year I own it. Year two, not a problem but year one it would. Despite knowing better, I'm cutting things close. I'm not getting any younger so it's now or never
The cockpit of the Combi lifts out to provide access to the fuel tank. I've read that when Tiara recalled their tanks, they did cut out the deck and reglassed it afterwards. I've also read accounts where some people---with different make boats---had come up with clever workarounds for this problem and was wondering if such workarounds had been successfully utilized on the 3100.
I think I'm just gonna play the game and go with the Tiara--it's a might sweet boat
