Wow Steve, that boat is really nice.. I am going to start checking insurance rates this week... i'm not to worried.. if worse comes to worse, I can buy it using my biz tax ID, and then when it comes to insurance, it gets added to my policy as equipment, lol .. Just like my truck.. $80/month for full coverage auto insurance... not bad on a brand new 2005 f-250.. hopefully they won't try to ask me for my arm or leg. lol ..

Hey Man, we deffinately should try to meet up sometime.. I'm all about learning as much as I can.. I absolutely would LOVE to have the apache for a first boat.. but I guess we'll see what insurance thinks about that.. Also, I deffinately need to check with my bank and see about financing options.. I'm going to try to have all that done this week, so that when the time is right, I can go ahead and make the right choice!

Re: Newbie Here!
 

thanks for the compliments Matt and everyone else too.

my understanding is , getting financing on a boat 10 years old and older will require a marine survey verifying the boat is worth whatever your paying for it. it will also be required for insurance purposes.
whatever you decide to buy , ide recommend getting a survey regardless of a boats age. it could save you thousands in the long run.
I'm paying 1300./year for it now but its in Missouri. my guess is Florida will be higher.

Re: Newbie Here!
 

I can imagine it'd be higher in florida, but if its under like 2k for the year, it won't be a problem.. I just don't want to be paying 5k year on insurance. lol

hey matt we have a 23 ft sport deck just about near completion at Midnight which would be just perfect for what you're looking for in my opinion.
