A QD 25 and pipe is cheaper than some full mod zens and pipes.

In any case suggesting a newby go for a complicated setup right off the bat is ridiculous,seen it a hundred times, they get frustrated and you see partly built projects for sale all the time, or they actually do finish the boat and find they don't like it and sell it. Its always best to start simple and see if you even like boats before commiting a lot of time and money that you will never recover, only to find out you you bite off more than you can chew or don't like boats.
