Thanks!! Looking at a '98 400 DA with diesels on Wednesday.

Hello All, New to boat owning here and in Connecticut. I am purchasing my first boat (have boated most of my life on OP's boats). Searching for a DIESEL powered DA, preferably a 380 but will go up to a 410 if I have to. :-) Anyone in the CT/RI area have any Marina recommendations?
