I agree with Bill. I sold my 290DA. It was very tight for my wife and two kids (12 & 18). 5 Kids??? Time for a house boat! :>)

Jason, Congrats on signing up and taking the course. Hopefully, you will want to continue to learn and take more classes after the Safe Boating Class. Have Fun in Class and good luck in continuing to learn more about boating!!!

A friend of mine just started his own business, manufacturing land mines that look like prayer mats. ...apparently Prophets are going through the roof.

Wow...and I thought this a "friendly" forum. You know its getting bad when the Canadians are beating us in the insult department.:grin:

The Regal you posted is a nice looking boat, but is way overpriced for its options and year. (IMHO - $50K for this boat and trailer is about $10K overpriced... - I sold a similiar boat about 18 months ago - newer and with much better options). The more desireable options would be a generator...

John - Yes, you are wrong. But I would have loooooved to have seen this!:smt038 To the OP - leave it alone. It already ruined one nice of boating. To confront this a-hole again would just ruin a second day. Nothing to loose sleep over.....life is too short!

What happened the Cobalt???? Did he buy it?

I would agree. Your boat is newer than this, and is a Sea Ray. The options are not great on the Chaparel. It is definately a buyer's market in the used boat market. Be patient, there are great deals and great boats out there!

It's a very unfortunate incident. On one hand, you have some fine young men who have dedicated themselves to serving the public. While they did not intentionally "kill" someone, I doubt when they showed up for work that day that they thought that they might end up in jail for 10 years while...

Cobalt makes a WONDERFUL boat. But, the question is: Is this the boat you want???? How may boats have you owned? Do you really know what you want? You are not going to sleep in a bowrider. If you want to "overnight" then a bowrider is not for you. However, if you want to have fun on...

Whew!....I am not on the list. I didn't get caught today!:grin:

We cannot tell you what to do. It all depends on the relationship between your boss and you. If at all possible (i.e.- it won't cost you your job), I would be honest with your boss. However, if you think you might lose your job because you are looking elsewhere, I would not. Just because...

I think Regal makes a very nice boat. However, Sea Ray makes a better boat (in the mid size cruisers). I am not a big fan of their pocket cruisers. I don't like how the upholstry is put together, and the styling is a little dated. They need to re-design this line. Having said that, they...

Many possibilities. Are you keeping it in fresh or salt water? The first step is to figure out if it is rain water, sea water or water from inside the boat. That will narrow down the possibilities.

Re: is it safe to launch a 28' sundancer with a Toyota 2008 Tundra 4x4 with radial Ti I don't know much about the older 268DA. Twin Engines? If it has a single engine, you should be fine to launch. I have launched the same size boat (28' cruiser with a 8.1L engine) with a Nissan Titan...
