Good decision & well justified.
If a dealer is even entertaining a warranty on a boat over 5yrs old, it's a no brainer!

Good looking ride! You made the right choice. Looks like that hull will be stable in the water. My Glastron is shaped similar and is awesome on the water. You might find, with that interior setup, that everyone will end up sitting on the LH side and the boat will want to lean that way... you will have to rearrange people. No big deal once people learn what they need to do. Happy boating.

How does the wife like it? Thats all that counts because she will be on it and you won't be made to feel bad if you go without her

Congrats on the buy!!! Basically when buying a boat, it really just comes down to which one you like best and whats right for you. Hell, Like many here, I bought a pretty old boat that a lot of people wouldn't have touched. Enjoy!:)

Gorgeous boat. I've always been a fan of the bucket on the starboard, lounger on the port seating arrangement. Unfortunately my wife has issues with symmetry so I've got two buckets :p

Chriscraft 254 and ezmobee just looked at the pictures of the refurbishing you did on your boats. Just incredible work you have done, looks just like brand new boats but better. How long did the whole projects take?

I took a closer look at your boat picture (profile). Looks like the bow keel is very close to touching the trailer. If it is, you may want to do something to prevent contact between the boat and trailer.

Thanks for the tip, I think it may be the camera angle though it looked fine in person.

Thanks! I bought the boat in September '09 and splashed it May of '10 I believe.

Thanks, after two years of upgrading, mine is still a work in progress. Hope to have the interior done by spring.
