I don't think you'll earn any bargaining points. Once you drive it you'll understand. The tip of Sea Hawk's transom sits 6-9 inches above the water when balance on her lines in the slip. Under full power the tip of the transom is submerged 2-3 inches. This was the same experience on Blue Pearl (37+) when we were looking to buy her. I have never once said to myself, "Boy if only I had a little more power."
