Dang Capn! Did you clean up that pic? I didn't catch that outdrive....

225 has a buyer. They are just waiting for me to tell them to pick her up!

Wow that was quick! Congratulations. What happened to the 258 in Cleveland?

We're still in the loop....waiting to hear something back. Trying to be proactive. I don't want to let this drag out and end up keeping my boat keeping my buyer waiting for nothing in the end.

Buy a little older boat that you know the history and maintenance. A repo...especially across the country where you can't put your own eyes on it could be a lot of trouble and a lot of $$$ down the line. Good luck and congrats on the sale.

There are few of us that live in CT; I live in Portland but our boat is docked in Mystic. Do you trailer or slip your boat. I grew up in Westerly and lived there until 5 years ago.

That CT boat is going to be a salt water boat ...... stick with fresh water used boats!

That was what was hard for us .... finding a nice (and nicely priced) fresh water boat over here on the seacoast.

Thats a good repo house. Last year I looked at a few boats there. As far as it being a salt water boat, It may be fresh water. Mine is 5 years old and will be seeing its first year in salt this coming year. That place has a few Four Winns for sale. Too bad you didnt see it earlier as I was just by there this past weekend. If I am in the neighborhood again, I can pop in and take a look.

Bottom painted & a barnacled outdrive .... likely salt water.

Of course, on a young boat this isn't a "no way" issue, but I would always prefer to start out with a fresh water boat if all else is equal.

We are from Wallingford Ct. Keep the 258v in Deep River. Planning on many trips this year. Hartford fireworks are great.
