New member here, 47 years old live in Jacksonville FL. My 2nd boat, 3rd if you count a PWC. Just bought it from a friend, well he was my friend, now that I boat his old boat we will see, LOL. It's a 1997 Chaparral 1830 SS LE, bow rider, nothing fancy just something to get out on the water and enjoy the summer and try not to get in trouble and spend too much money. Picked it up for $6000, included a nice shorelander trailer, motor was recently rebuilt, new cam, valves, rings, heads, manifolds, gimble bearings, u joints and the trailer was redone with new bearings, springs, bunks, lights and tires. Came with a bimini top and factory cover. Needs a little cleaning up but I think it will do the trick. Will be asking questions on here from time to time and promise to play nicely.:lol:
