I'll keep you posted and if I do purchase I will post a few pictures. My problem is I have had really bad luck with boats over the past year. I went with older used boats and ended up having to sell due to motor problems. My wife is losing faith in my boat buying ability as am I. I think I have proved used may not be for me. If I buy brand new I get a warranty. My feeling is I can maintain the boat as I am good at getting maintenance done on time.
Here is the boat I am interested in, http://www.piratecovemarina.com/index.php/198-lx-str1056
I used to subscribe to all of the boating mags years ago, but now there are only a few and the are all rags. Anyhoot, a few years ago there was a listing in many of the rags that listed the top 50 dealers in the country. Something like a JD Powers thing. My dealer was on the list. Nuff said.One important consideration is the dealer. Their reputation?
Bought the boat today. I will take delivery on Thursday. I paid more money for this boat then anything before (house excluded). I am looking forward to trouble free boating for the next 20 years, still suffering from sticker shock. We are looking at a small cottage on a lake tomorrow, man you would think I won the lottery. I spent years saving, my parents passed away last year and I just thought you can't take it with you.
Thanks for the support on the new purchase.
well the next 5 years will be trouble free, it's got a warranty so Stingray will be on the hook for it, LOL.
