Hey gang ... Newbie here .. Long time lurker - which is actually why I am about to jump into the bigger sandbox and buy a Dancer. Currently in a Yamaha Jetboat - and its run its course
I have tried to search - but the "bigger boat" threads kind of take on their own personalities - but I figured there are enough hardcore DA PROs in here - maybe you could give me an opinion or 2
Me & the Mrs are about 1 second from one of 2 boats ... a 2005 360DA or a 2000 380DA
They are both in excellent condition - virtually the same price. The 360 is more heavily equipped in terms of electronics - and its is the Navy Blue scheme which we both like - I can tell it's more of the "party" boat between the 2. The 380 is a total cupcake - all white scheme - VERY well taken of - basic electronics ... Honestly we cant make a bad move
But I am TRYING !!! to think long term - and I am really torn between the 2
The 360 is newer / and smidge fancier - might be slightly easier to sell in 5-7 years .. but the 380 is just minty. I personally feel the room. I have read about the cave affect in the Dancers - and I'm really trying to take that into consideration - and I am thinking 2 feet makes a big difference
So to you long terms Rayers .. Over time - Do you feel the 2 foot difference ... Is the 380 (even though it's older) - the better boat. This is a toughy. I WANT the 380 - but on paper the 360 "seems" better
I am starting to vapor lock on a decision ... but the length seems to be the big key ... unless there is something I dont know about buying older Rays.
Just looking for 2 cents from the crew
Thanks a TON !!!! in advance ... I am starting to panic and get the shakes - its decision time :-O
