We loved our 86 Sunsport, We are INSANELY in love with our 242. Yeah the computer integration of things is worrisome for the future but repairing these kinds of things is only going to get easier and less expensive and more commonplace as time goes on. Nearly every device built anymore has as complicated electronics as our boat. Spend some time learning some code and write an app that lets your phone handle the controller requirements and then it's just a matter of finding simple hardware to handle the power loads of actuating things. It will for sure be different, but I will not have to remove to top deck to replace wood anything.
I think it's right it will be a long time before the affordability factor is the same as the old boats now but that's just how things are.
