Just got my first boat!
 
Hello all.
I really enjoy going through all the build/rebuild threads here and wanted to say hey and I am unable to post in the owners forum since I am a freeloader on the site.

Just bought my first boat this past weekend - a 1985 Chris Craft 210 Limited. 350 with Alpha Drive
Thought I'd share a picture and tell everyone thanks for all the reading material that keeps me from doing work!

I just run on a small lake in central Illinois but I love to read (dream) about the big boats.

Welcome to OSO!! Nice boat!
it doesnt allow you to post in the owners forum? Thats odd, since it allows me to.

You'll love OSO! Again, welcome :)

Thanks everyone for the great welcome.
I have a good amount of cleaning to do but I think she is in good shape and not a bad price at 4200 including 2 tubes, numerous life jackets, covers, bimini, and decent stereo.
I don't think I got hurt too bad.

314joey: I go to Mill Creek near Marshall, and would like to go to shelbyville whenever possible. We just stay close to home if possible. (I live in Casey, IL)

Anyone have any pictures of their limited or scorpion? (which I have learned is nearly the same boat looks wise anyways)
