Location: Contrarian Island | 95 and 96 690s have that open area that has the vinyl covering the battery compartment, they glassed it in from 97 to 99 or special order 00s. if you lean towards a 690 go with 97 to 99.
there is a nice 97 690 on wcentral right now for 17k. for sheer fishing there is nothing better than a single console 690.
I fish 3 often, run the boat from the back and have lots of room... now the passenger might eat a few bugs or get a bit cold but we are out there to fish  I love my boat. Only thing I'd sell it for is a single console 619 or 620 I'd make a custom deck along the side to connect the front and back decks to... clean 690s, 692s sell fast when they pop up.
no matter the motor, if it's original be ready to put a new powerhead on or repower...
great rigs, can handle about any size waves and are fishing machines.
mine does on avg 48 mph, not sure what the deal is but my 2016 suzi is a bit slower than my 08 suzi…. can see 49 to 50 on occasion.. 4 blade custom props are great for 690/692s. my back deck extension below... 2 strokes will push the boat 53 to 56 on avg.
