Hopefully its better than the Providence Show cause ours was very weak....it was all bowriders and pontoon boats..... never seen so many pontoons in my life

we missed the Newport show which is usually great......we were in the mountains riding the bike

I was just there and yes those were the boats, of course. I was disapointed that there were no Vistas there! I am looking for a bigger boat if the $$ is right. I hate to say this, so I was looking at other dearlers other than you & 3A.

Congrats Paul. Our 282 was just about the same size. 31'LOA, 10'beam and twin 4.3L V6's. Although our's was an express cruiser, it did great in larger water's and was good on fuel consumption too.

Let us know when you can what you are getting.

Congrats Paul. Keep us posted please.

We missed the Toronto show since we moved to the stix. There was a show close to us in Belleville at a mall. There was 1 PWC, 3 tin cans and 2 quads. That was it!!!! What a joke.

Congrats Paul,

Hope your purchase goes smoothly. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts as to why the 29 footer your offer was accepted on became your top choice from all the choices you had.

Mike.

They looked fine to me in Miami? A tad small cause they're cheating on the size, but looked good
