Finally took the big step and decided to place an offer on a 2001 410DA. I have owned in-land lake boats for years but wanted to switch from cottage to cruiser lifestyle. Enjoyed this lifestyle growing up with my parents boats. I owned a 22 Sea Ray years ago and always wanted another one. Been looking for awhile for a 36-38 DA. My Wife nudged me to go larger, so I settled in on a 410. I have two questions, my budget was limited and larger meant older. Also selected gas over diesel, mostly because the product simply hasn’t been there, especially fresh water boats. Is this a concern with the age of the boat? All I have read is diesel, diesel, diesel. But there are lots of gas DA out their. Am I setting myself up? Survey is next week. I am trying to find someone to look at engines also, Port Clinton area, any recommendations?
