Thanks, guys, for all the valuable feedback. Sled, I picked her up today - my new to me 1988 680c Fisherman with same year 90hp Merc and newer 80lb 24 v wireless Motorguide. The electronics are a few years old and I plan to eventually upgrade those, needs a few odds and ends in the plumbing and electrical, and maybe I'll re-power someday but it runs and looks great to me as it is. I couldn't be happier and can't wait to take it out in a week up in Vilas county. I'm a relatively young guy but there is just something about these older Rangers and Mercs I like - especially when you consider the price tag. (But don't get me wrong, I surely wouldn't kick a new Predator or ProV out of my garage either!) I'm sure I'll be hitting you guys up with lots of questions this winter as I work things out and I would certainly like to be a part of the 690 Rodeo next summer even if I do have to dock on the other side of the lake.
