Starting to look for a boat again
 

I'm starting to look for boats again with spring coming. I was recovering from a fall at work so I couldn't do much shopping last fall. I sold my 99 271 and need to find something bigger. Minimum size 311 up to 353 with a trailer. I live in central New York state but could drive a reasonable distance. Let me know whats out there for sale. Thanks for any input. :D

did I hear were you might be going to a Center console ?

Re: Starting to look for a boat again
 

Went to a center console 25 Fountain. Local boat. Fun bang-around boat that I can take the dog on and not worry.

sweet boat ..... congrats

Re: Starting to look for a boat again
 

Why not do it right, and step up to the 382 you really want!

Re: Starting to look for a boat again
 

A 382 would be sweet but a little out of my price range unless you find an older one :( .

Re: Starting to look for a boat again
 

How about a 312. A friend of mine is thinking about selling. If you are interested I can get you the details. The boat is in Louisville KY.

Re: Starting to look for a boat again
 

Thanks but I think I'm going to a PC next.

Re: Starting to look for a boat again
 

A PC??!!!?? :eek:

When did you decide on a PC? Not that there's any issue with that, just that you've been looking for go-fasters all this time. Wifey finally get to you? :p

Third Bird,

After sitting around for 4 1/2 months out of work I had time to think about what really makes sense for my next boat. I also sold my 5th wheel camper last fall so going to a PC is like having a camper on the water. I still want to find a boat with decent power to go 45-50 mph, how often do you really wind up to full throttle anyway. Actually when I told the wife about this idea she about fell on the floor and thought I must be sick. :eek:

Re: Starting to look for a boat again
 

40SS.....HP 525's and she'll run 61.2 mph! 2001's are going for around 135k...There's always Rippem's 353!

Gary, shouldn't you be over the head injury by now..? :D

just kidding of course...hoping you have had an A1 recovery from that fall.

Re: Starting to look for a boat again
 

Naaaa...staying put. I had a hair for the cabin and overall size of the 38', but after spending some time behind the wheel of Mike's HP600/ITS 38', it was clear that's about the right power to have any semblence of fun with one of them condos. :p

The right time/right place used 500EFI 38' that I would be looking for wouldn't really get me that different an experience.
The boat I've got is turn-key, mint, loaded, reasonably fuel efficient, and has 3 seasons of warranty left...

not to mention the days of 4.5% money are loooong gone. :(

other than a light detail...I'm ready to go boatin'!

Re: Starting to look for a boat again
 

I go through this every spring, but I am thinking of upgrading.
My 311 is up for grabs if your interested.

Re: Starting to look for a boat again
 

that's puuurdy... :cool:

Re: Starting to look for a boat again
 

So if any you wise guys know of any of the " other " style of Formula boats for sale let me know. :D

Re: Starting to look for a boat again
 

Thanks Rippem, I know when it gets wet again (a couple of weeks) I'll probably say no sale again!
