The TAMD75's at cruise speed on this boat is about 35-40 GPH? I know the 40 SeaRay with 3116 Cats is in the low 20's GPH at cruise. Not that big of a deal but trying to get a feel for speed and GPH on the Trojan.

Also going to look at a 2003 Regal 4260 Commodore with TAMD75 engines. Never see a Regal up close so I am looking forward to seeing the layout.

Certainly doesn't effect performance, but makes the boat look much older than it is.

That leaves me looking at a very suspicious Regal 4260 local to me and about 3 other 99-01 Sea Ray 400/410 boats. None of the SR boats wow me either.
All I know is come May 1 I better have a boat in my slip!!

At that point we ended up buying a Carver that was 40K higher than what we were looking at but was a nice boat that still required some updating, but was reasonably turn key in that we bought it then got on board and brought it home....a two day trip with zero issues.
Now in case you are saying, " yea so what ", the point of it is this, we sold that same boat for 25% more than we paid for it due to the market. It is tough now as any boats that are any good are sold, higher priced than before and the bargain priced ones that remain seem to require too much saving like you have mentioned.
You may have to reset the budget figure to get a quality boat in the time constraint you have, unless you want a project....you are correct in saying that the Canadian boat would be difficult to get home by May, even if it was good to go......again this is just my considered opinion.......good luck man....keep us posted.

Unless my budget goes to 225 (which it will not do!) there doesnt seem to be a huge difference in the 100-150 range. Same brands, same models, same years but some sellers are just asking that much more...
