After six months, a complete survey, sea trial a week ago... IT'S MINE!

The surveryor sent the broker a list of stuff that needs attention, the broker said, "this is all little stuff- I'm just gonna take care of it."
Then, he offered me a good deal on a brand new Tidewater trailer (kodiak disc brakes on both axles), and a $1000. trade-in on the original, rather crappy-condition trailer that came with the boat.
He says it''ll all be ready to go in 2 more weeks. Gives me just enough time to get my dock space set up. Ordered the mooring whips today.
One last thing- as bad as most boat dealers seem to be, Angelo at Blue Marlin boats in Seaford on LI, is a gem. From day 1, he was a help to us. If you're shopping, give this guy a call. I really like him. Never bs'd us, and when I had questions about the trailer brakes that he was unsure of, he called the factory and arranged for the rep to call me back and answer all my questions.
If you look for some of my old posts you'll see the search I went through before I found the Chris-Craft. Patience pays off!!
Anybody want a Pro-Line that's had all sorts of upgrades made to it? I'll never get back the money I put into it, but man! Did I learn a ton of stuff about boats!
