    540DA Delivered 3/30/12

    Absolutely beautiful boat! The fit and finishes are incredible. I can hardly wait until you're ready to trade up again and can sell me you're well cared for boat. Can we go ahead and set a date like 24 - 36 months from now?

    what is this?

    If memory serves me correctly, that is the drain point from your anchor storage locker. It's also what's tearing up your bow roller on your trailer, and from experience I don't think there is any solution for that other than the trailers orientation and depth of water when you load the boat...

    Personal Protection while on the hook

    Don't forget about your flare gun. When carried on your boat as part of your emergency preparediness gear, it is certainly legal in all fifty states and equally lethal if you were ever confronted by a situation that put you and your families life in danger.

    Sea Ray 260 Sundeck

    You'll love the 260SD! It's a great day boat and you'll be amazed at the amount of storage and "people" room on this boat. It's also a really easy boat to maitain as access to most everything you need to get to for routine maintenance is convenient. I won't say that it's SeaRay's most...

    38 Dancer Performance

    You didn't say whether you were considering new or used. I would study this hard and skip past the 38 and go straight to a good 420 or similar of 2004 - 2007 vintage? You will be glad you did with the extra space and relative fuel economy of the diesels. As an aside, if you stick with the...

    Michelle Obama serving food to the homeless!

    If she wasn't behind the serving counter, he could have gotten a photo of her $400 designer sneakers that she had on at the event that day. Truly priceless.

    That wont happen to me......

    My "best" memory was the time that I couldn't get the boat to slide off the trailer. Thinking that I didn't have the trailer deep enough in the water, I hopped in the truck and backed in further. Still no luck and even trying to bump the boat was of no help. After backing it in further...

    This GM store makes the cut!!!!

    Not to rain on your parade, but if you are involved with either the sale or repair of GM products, you're not out of the woods yet. Know one knows how the American public will react win GM files for their inevitable bankruptcy this summer.

    I love my Sea Ray but....

    Congrats on the VROD. The day I bought mine, I didn't have the nerve to tell the salesman that I hadn't ridden a motocycle in over 20 years, and probably not more than 10 total miles in my entire life. I bought my VROD in Chicago, saved a ton of dough, and had it shipped home for $500. I rode...

    Holy cow! I didn't add that up, but the boat looks like a million, so we know that you're way ahead in the catagory, and think of all the satisfaction that you've gotten out of doing that. Thank you for sharing all of that information. So how many hours of labor do you think you have total in...

    I just saved a bunch of money on my boat insurance

    Has anyone every actually filed a claim with NBOA? I know that many of us are enjoying lower premiums with NBOA, but that enjoyment will quickly fly out the window if a claim is not promptly and efficiently handled. Anyone with first hand experience?
