Sold the boat

Well they say the 2 happiest days are the day you buy, and the day you sell. It isn't working out that way for us.

It's bittersweet, we had a lot of fun on that boat, but we find ourselves wanting more space. It's a sickness that 2 foot itus

We are still looking for the next one, have a couple in mind so we will see. Thanks for all the good advice and entertainment.

I'll still be checking back from time to time.

ric, we are looking at express's. Sedans are gorgeous but they don't really fit out boating style, not to mention budget. It's one thing to have a cabin on the water, quite another to have a house on the water. :lol:

A 318 is a beast, what are you looking for LOA wise? Going to join the ranks of Vista owners that start with a 4?

I dont think a 4?? is in the cards. We will be staying in the under 40' class. 2 requirments, she wants a totally seperate shower stall, and I want stern drives. I dont like V drives for the fuel efficiency and although Im sold on pods, the maintenace costs and the inablitly to raise them in shallow water situations has me wanting to stay away from them. Maybe the next boat.

Oh. You're screwed.

The 2008-9 Sundancer 350 is not dedicated but it's darn close, check it out. Not aware of any other sterndrive vessels that come close to that.

Oh yeah, no Sea Rays. No offense to any Sea Ray owner, I just dont care for the way they do some of the things they do.

And yes ric there is one out there that does all of what we are looking for, and does it pretty well.

Jeff,
Congrats on the sale! It is bitter sweet you're moving on because you've been a contributing member of the IFourWinns family for so long. Hopefully you'll remember to stop by and say hello from time to time. Good luck on your purchase....I think you'll be very happy with your decision :wink:

It's a clear class leader in that size express cruiser. Excellent choice Jeff. Hope we can meet up at the Boat show in a couple of weeks.
