Greetings all! Tons of good info here I've already gone through... AND there's a ton more to read.
This was one of our shortest shopping sessions ever for a used boat (for us... and we typically move quickly anyway).

Hopefully there will only be good days ahead in the water for us. We've been married 17 years and had some type of ski boat most of those years. Our kiddos didn't show much interest until this year. The boat is as large as we could possibly go... but I think it's going to work out well. We'll be in the water with it later tonight. Bought it from the original owner (and surprisingly close to home)... seemed like a good guy and maticulous about his things.
I know new posts MUST have a pic or two (*self edit*... deleted pics and posted better ones below)... so I attached a pic for now... but more to come when I have it out of the garage and in the sunshine.

It's incredible how BIG this thing seemed when we first pulled up but not so much in the pics. My wife gave me the look when we pulled up to the seller's place like "what the heck, it's WAY to big"!
Let's see what I can jot down for specs....
-03' H220 w/5.7 GI & Volvo Penta DP (1st Volvo Penta unit ever... hope it was a good purchase)
-Black/White (never had a black boat before... but it'll probably become my fav color the longer we have it

)
-Swim platform (never had one but REALLY looking forward to having this! My kids will go nuts as they love jumping off the boats)
Did I miss anything???
Thanks to all who have posted already... looks like a great forum!
All the best!
