New Boater 252ss
Hello All,
I'm a new boat owner . I grew up boating with my dad on Lake Shelbyville in IL. We had a 24 ft Hurricane deck boat with Merc 200 saltwater, then a 25 ft pontoon with a Merc 150. I looked long and hard for my 1st boat - 15 years! (Not kidding) The time was right, and I found a 1997 Formula 252ss with the 7.4 MPI LX motor. It has 375 hours, and I paid $16,500 for it. I think I got a pretty good deal, as it's super clean with barely a nick on it. Any thoughts on how I did, and how this will be for a first boat are appreciated. Also, any tips from others who have the same boat would be great too. Thank You |
Sounds like a alright deal. Should be a good time had by all!!! Seems like you got a great first boat.

Sounds like you got a great boat. Since you’ve been around boats for a while most of common issues are known by you. Bottom like do the maintenance, don’t beat the snot out of it and above all be safe
