Seatrials went very well Saturday, here are some pics from the morning. I love how the 328 handles in chop!
Previous owner is keeping the dinghy. We should be taking posession in a couple of weeks!

As we were opening it up out of the channel we passed this custom Palmer Johnson, rumor has it, it was built for Tiger Woods.
Their seatrial probably cost more than my boat!!!

Great looking boat and congrats. I'm bias though, we have a 2002 328. I see you were in Sturgeon Bay but I don't recognise the marina. Is it Quarter Deck?

Yep, We purchased fom Skipper Bud's. She will be slipped at South Bay in Green Bay.
You're from Madison, do you make it up this way at all?
Any tips/tricks you could pass along would be great!

Nice looking boat. Nice that you were able to get a decent price on it from SB. The 328 is the best express cruiser in the 30 to 35 foot range you can find IMHO. Our dream boat, but unfortunately, we will probably never be able to afford one. Have a great summer on the Big Lake !!

We do live in Madison but we are up every weekend. We keep our boat at Wave Pointe marina. Been north the past 2 weekends getting ours waxed. It's sitting at Sturgeon Bay Yacht Sales (Mr. Outboards) until splash time.

What year is yours? As mentioned our is a 2002. I agree with Capt. Morgan in the previous post, it's a great riding boat, although a wet ride at times. We've only had two issues during our 4 seasons, Galley sink drains, barely, into the shower sump. I disconnected and added another thru hull which solved the problem. Second issue, wet ride as mentioned. The Four Winns factory canvas, for lack of a better word, sucks. Replaced tops and surrounds plus cockpit cover for $7,000.

I've sent you a PM.

Ours is a 2003, we're trading in an 03 crownline 230ccr. I did notice some spray during sea trials, but not like the crownie. Good to know about the canvas, that's a pretty serious chunk of change!
