Jeez, SJ, lighten up! As FR and others have said, it was MEANT to be a harmless prank. The kid didn't have bad intentions, he admitted to doing it right away, and the parents are paying, and - hopefully - the parents had some words with him. You've already got the cops lined up and are ready...

I agree with Coach...we were in Chicago harbors for several years and really enjoyed it. However, we moved to Southport in Kenosha this past season and it's been really nice (and we live 2-3 miles from our old harbor in Chicago). In Chicago you pay for the privilege of being in Chicago and...

Nehalennia, Thanks for the decent response. I've updated my profile to avoid any more "issues" so you can see the boat information there, but I'm in Chicago so I doubt it's a match from that perspective.

So just to be clear...I tried to be polite and ask if it was okay to post here because I didn't feel that the classified section got much action, and so far I've received ridiculous responses because I don't post my personal information, I've been called a cheap SOB, and I've received another...

Yes, well said indeed...thanks for the constructive responses guys! And yes that is sarcasm. The profile stuff was just having some fun when I signed up...didn't realize it would be used to judge me - or used to sell my boat at some point. If you take the time to read my first post and...

I'm not sure if it's "ok" to post this here, but I hate to admit that it doesn't appear the classifieds get much action. It's time to put our 2005 320 on the market and look for the next one. Since I'm not sure of policy, I'll leave the details out on this post, but would be happy to share the...

It looks like I'm a little too late since you made reservations, but I'll give my .02. I'm a little biased because I've spent the last five years at Diversey, but if you truly want to leave the harbor and roam a little, check out restaurants, etc. you can't beat Diversey. It's not the cleanest...

Thanks for all the feedback. I've found them at the SR dealer...$2.00 each! I know it's only $2.00, but as bmac said, they should be cents! I'll try this weekend and see what happens. I somehow have a feeling it's going to continue to leak, but we'll see.

Anybody else have problems with SR fresh water lines leaking? I've had to loosen a few water lines (fresh water system) for various reasons, and can never get them to stop leaking when put back together. Does anyone know where to find the white rubber "grommets" that go in the water line...

beerman - I hope all is well with your wife. You have a PM.

Sorry for any confusion...I wasn't clear in my first post that I would shop used, not new.

Not sure the point of the post above - whether you're agreeing or disagreeing - but I'm not trying to start a pi$$ing contest, just telling what I've found. Do a search and I'll guarantee you'll find them listed at or below $200k. During my brief search, a quick tire kicking session on the...

Wetpaint – While I agree that the boat is probably a great boat regardless of engine package, I have a hard time being comfortable with the numbers below. It’s more than just outright mileage; in addition to using nearly twice as much fuel, its going to take considerably longer to get to your...

BB - thanks for taking the initiative to check with someone else, much appreciated! I really thought there were plenty of gas boats out there that someone would have reaponded. Oh well. If .7 is a real number, it's actually a little better than I thought. Hhmmmm!

So nobody with the gassers can give me real life numbers? I know, I know, afraid to actually say it out loud!!
