Pics!







Pics are from the PO. It was pretty clean when I bought it, but after a Saturday afternoon of scrubbing the carpet looks great and the seats look nearly new. Long term I want to buff out the slightly faded black and wax the entire thing. After crawling all over it there's nothing I've discovered that worries me. I love how the swim deck bumps out to cover the outdrive so my kids can't jump on it. We had other previously scheduled stuff going on all weekend, so right now Tuesday looks like our maiden voyage. My wife and kids are really excited, this is going to be a great family activity.

Going to look at a Stingray tuesday.


This thread really made me feel dumb, we have lived ON the lake for almost 8 years and never really gave a boat much thought.
I don't know about NC, but around here the affordable boats ($10k and under) go FAST. Like hours fast. I missed out on a Four Winns because I was the second caller, and I missed out on a Chris Craft because my wife and I went home to think it over and look a bit more. All's well that ends well of course, because I'm very happy with the end result. But I only got this one because I was the first caller and I showed up as arranged with cash. Lots of great advice on this thread, and look at as many as you can, it helps make the good ones stand out.
