Just my wife and I probably 90% of the time

Thanks again, there seems to be some much to consider in picking out the best boat for my needs/likes. Kinda overwhelming. I do like the layout of the 290 Amberjack, but I’m feeling it may not be large enough for 4-5 day stays. But I may be wrong, I’ve never stepped on one. Let me give you a...

Again, Thank You for the great advice. What is your opinion on the Sea Ray Amberjack 290 with v drive and Horizon engines?

Thanks a bunch Todd, and everyone else who replied with advice. I will look into the slightly smaller boats, 300-320 like you said. I also like to advice on the extra expenses. I will account for that . I do have a budget, as I believe most people do. If money was no object I’d have a 200’...

Hi Todd, if you don’t mind, I’d like to pick your brain some. First of all, I’d like to tell you my plans. My wife and I live in the western upstate portion of New York State. I am semi retired and love the Florida weather and lifestyle but we don’t want to live there full time. I’ve had boats...

My plan in the spring is to shop and buy a used Sea Ray in Florida, probably the Sea Ray Sundancer 340. I am very confused whether or not it can be docked full time in saltwater in a marina. I’ve heard the boat should be pulled out and bottom cleaned every two weeks during the summer. Or should...

I I have not looked in to sleeping arrangements too much. It would only be my wife and I most of the time. But we would be staying on the boat on a average of 3-5 days at a time. I plan keeping the boat near Clearwater Florida. I do like the modern Marker 1 Marina with their High and Dry rack...

I now believe I’ll be looking for a Amberjack 290 with the 350 Horizon V-drive set up. What would you consider low to medium hours on a 2006-2009 boat. Also I do like the hard top option, not sure if that is standard or not. Some of these questions may seem silly but I’m new to boats of this...

Thanks, and yes, I would be using it in salt water. I see also, twin diesels v-drives were a option. Your thoughts on diesels?

Come this spring I will be purchasing a new/used boat. And after many hours of research, I believe the Sea Ray Amberjack 290 will fill the needs and wants of my wife and I. We will be looking for the best boat in the years 2005-2008 or so. My main question is I know they come with a few...
