The Phantom is a nice boat, but way out of my price range. I am really liking the 27ft Fountain as well but would have to go slightly older to stay a little above my price range.

I recently bought a 35 Fountain , fever over the internet from Eastcoast Flightcraft inc in Middleton ,Ma. I dealt with a few different guys there and they were great to work with . I drove 900 miles to go look at it and bring it home one way . The boat was every thing they said it was . I 'm very happy with the Boat . The service department was great also . they checked all the wheels and tires prreasures and replaced a tailight and gave me the 5way adapter I needed all after the deal was done . that speaks volums for me . The service manager is a regular poster on this website , his name is Bob Jordan { blown Income } Sorry I don't remimber all the rest of there names but they were great to work with . thanks Tim

Thanks Chuck, I appreciate it. I will give them a call.
I will definitely get a survey done. I think it is required most times now with the loan application.
The boat I am looking for is a 2000-2004 25ft Baja Outlaw with a 496 MAG or HO. It appears to be a good entry boat in my price range. I looked at a 1999 26 Donzi zx but it was pretty beat up.

Chris, owner of Sterndrive Specialist has always been honest and a stand up guy. I had some drives worked on, some drives bought from him and also got some solid advise. I wouldn't hesitate to deal with him. Good luck. Spend a little more and buy my cigarette.

I am looking to make my first boat purchase and am looking to spent around 30K. I have seen a boat that I am interested in for sale in Constantia, NY that has been listed on eBay twice without selling, boattrader and on Craigslist. The individual selling the boat appears to be Mark at Stern Drive Specialist. I have read some older posts here about the good repair work from Chris and was wondering if anyone has bought a boat from them? They are not registered with the BBB and I did find a couple of posts online saying they were scammed and recommended staying away from purchasing a boat. I just wanted to check with everyone here since some of the prices seem to good to be true. Thank you.
