Been very busy the past few weeks with work and getting the new boat purchase done.

As some of you know, I'm purchasing an '08 V318. VERY, very nice boat. Its taken quite a bit of time getting all the new accessories picked out, and ordered, since this will be our first full-time slipped boat.

So far, my buying experience has been great. Had a great survey and sea-trial, even got a mini vacation in Florida. Very neat buying experience as well, buying it from the Winns brothers. They are doing a great job, and wish I had a dealer like them closer to home.

Here's a teaser pic...



You have to love FRESH bottom paint!

I like the black! We want more pics!! Congrats and glad you liked Florida. Year round boating and "winterization" what is that?!

I found out that my camper canvas did a poor job of keeping all of the water out of the boat the year mine wasn't under cover. Things like water dripping down the side and finding it's way in was always a hassle. I also had a problem with my back locker collecting water. Now that I'm under cover I don't even give it a thought. Now I just have to contend with spiders and their mess. Honestly I never knew spiders could crap so much.

Can't wait to see the boat when we meet up this year!

Looks great! You will love the flexiteak on the platform..... The weaver Davits arms have the right drop, so get a nice dinghy!

The front windshield connector will drive you nuts.... You will want custom panels made to improve your vision.

She is a beauty but I never thought you would have bought a salt water boat. I can't find her online so was she on a lift or possibly in freshwater? Very clean hull for salt.

Gorgeous Boat, congratulations! It's just a beautiful boat and also re-confirms again to me just how ugly their newer designed models are, like the V305!

cheers
