So after 3 long years, dozens of posts here, two rejected surveys, many rejected boats, boats sold when called, non-responsive brokers, and crazy sellers, I am finally ready to close this week. 1998 370 Sundancer. Saw the boat two years ago in my marina but couldn't pull the trigger and regretted it. Didn't hesitate this time. To say it was a frustrating search is an under statement -- it's crazy out there.

It's now on the Michigan side of Lake Michigan, so I have to bring it accross as soon as possible. A bit nerve racking in a new to me boat. I may chicken out and go down and arround like I did last time. Anyone going my way? :)

First order of business will be to install the fox marine gateways and hook up to the new GPS so I can figure out the goofy tachs.

Oh, and here's your proof. :)

Congrats. I'm pretty sure @Woody crosses twice a year. Just not sure in what direction.

Where is she located in Michigan? Where are you located on the other side?

I should have offered my congratulations first……she’s a beauty! ;)
 
On a perfect day that would be a nice crossing.
 
Congrats, she looks good!
I have been going through everything learning the ins and outs of my new boat and I’m sure you will spend many hours doing the same.
