HELP!!! Tell me about a 1986 258 center console w/twin 135's

Well Guru's, I need your opinion's....... Guy wants to trade me his 1986 Aquasport 258 cc, Osprey or CCP,(don't know what model you call it,he called it an Osprey) with twin 1986 Johnson 135's for my Restored 19-6 (with T-top and tower)and powered by a 1990 Johnson 150.... I need more room for the family so I listed mine on Craigs list(Tampa) for a trade on larger center console, he replied to my ad and sent me pics, the boat is nice and clean and has a T-top....  My question's are, I need the low down(pro's and con's) on this model and are these DRY or WET boats??  It's a little bigger than I wanted to go and not crazy about twins(but these are very simple engines), but it works for me with NO $$ out of pocket to step up to a bigger boat..... I really wanted a 222 Osprey with a single...I have pics of the boat, if you want to see just e-mail me at mopargreg@earthlink.net

I don't think there is any Aquasport in a 258 model - 250 Osprey more likely.
No boat is 100% dry in the wrong conditions - that boat should be dry for the most part.
Twins are nice although twice as thirsty.
Remember that it is still a CC so there is no place for the family to hide when the weather gets nasty.

Hope that helps.
