But be prepared for a good boat at a good price, because you are definitely in the market. The Chase you showed look like a perfect boat for the money if checked out. Far less money than if you go hunting down a big HP boat that will require a piggy bank $$$ approach. $5 k down would work on a $20 k boat now.

i'm keeping the pricing low and the HP expectancy in relation to the pricing. i'm waying more towards laying low and paying off some bills and look for something at the end of next season after i've put some more money away, but what i say i'm going to do and what i do are two totally different things lol

btw that fast tech is nice....but i will hold off the temptation lol

Is that a normal price for a 2005 292?

It has a "Head with a dickside pumpout", so maybe it does suck :lolhit:

Seriously, nice looking boat.

Had to check out of Willsboro this morning. Thought of that Formula the entire trip back, through what seemed liked 18 footers :bsflag: Realistically, 3-5's, larger swells in the middle of the broad lake. God I hate the strong South wind. I hid behind Shulyer Island for a bit to mark my route. Then I headed Northeast towards Colchester Reef. In between, my little boat was getting a real bath. A few depends moments, but not many. Most of the cruisers headed South were going about 10 mph. I had to do 21 plus to stay above water.

Champlain guy's
 
I could use some Champlain advise. I have been to the Turtle via land and know nothing else. I am thinking of bringing my A/T after Labor day might stay the following weekend. My inlaws live in Hemmingford and staying with them. I'm thinking maybe a few day trips. Best places to launch?,anything we should see or do? I like nonmeth prem gas. Burlington? Is crossing the border with the boat going to be a hassle? I ordered a set of charts. Any help is much appreciated. Open to PM's and #, Thanks Doug

Yes on hassles.. but you can leave it at my shop in Burlington in a gated locked area if you want.




Hope this helps Doug. We should have the MTI going by then so we'll see you out there... If not we will be slumming around in the Azimut. GL

Doug....looks like GL covered it. He's right about hauling across the border. If you need a local to keep your rig on the NY side, I will offer up my place just west of Plattsburgh. When the weekends are even semi nice we are all out and can give you the tour. Just PM me if you need any other info. Always willing to show off our little pond!:ernaehrung004:

Thanks GL,Jpmac, I'll be in touch. I was hoping the border would be like my motorhome crossing experiance, guess not. Thanks, Doug
