That Campion reminds me of the hardtop Bayliners. Are any of those available in your area to check out?

Thanks- We are definitely looking at the KW 219 and 239 along with the Sea Hunt 235 Ultra. Ideally, I would love to find a gently used Chris Craft 23 Catalina in the very affordable price range, as we will end up using the center console as a pleasure craft more than a fishing rig...

It's not just SeaRay. We have been looking at single engine center console bay boats in the 22-24ft range and have been pretty shocked with current pricing.

This may be a shot in the dark, but I will try anyway... By chance, does anyone have a Tampa Bay/Sarasota area Florida Blue Chart card that will work with a Garmin 188C that they are no longer using?

Hello, We recently moved to Sarasota. As we get comfortable boating in the area we would like to be able to anchor on or near one of the many sandbars in the area. I can't seem to figure out how to do it correctly, I usually wind up to far off the bar, or end up drifting up to it and then in...

Any ideas where I can find a replacement steering wheel for my 280SS? Mine has cracked, expanded, chipped, etc. from years of sun and sea exposure.

Thanks all, the trailer has been sold.

We are working out the logistics of moving our boat to Sarasota. I am checking to see if anyone would have interest in purchasing the trailer - aluminum tri-axle manufactured by TNT once we get the boat re-homed. I can send pics of the trailer and details via PM if you are interested.

Nice pics! What is the water temp?

I am really looking forward to your pics. This looks like a great product.

Wow, I thought that is illegal in a freshwater. How about calling the DNR and reporting the owner? I absolutely hate inconsiderate assholes that discharge waste into lakes because they are too lazy to use a pump out. They deserve to be fined for doing it.
