Boats Express AKA Specialty shipping quoted and told me they could handle it the same week. I gave them a $500 deposit and the next day when I called the story changed to them not being able to do any of the prep for delivery and they had no idea when they would be able to transport it. So I...

Re: Need some help on which Ray model to get *update* bought one! THanks for the help guys. I ended up buying a 1999 Sundancer 380 with 330 hours on it. Very clean. Happy with the boat so far but I got screwed on the transporting it by two different companies:( Was out all memorial weekend...

I appreciate the help you guys gave me before. I've been looking steady and have things narrowed down. After speaking to some people, I'm back to wanting a Ray. Resale, expectations, maintenance, etc. I also have been in and out of a few and think I want a 38'. 34 was too small, over 41 too...

I'll pay a marina to do the in/out and would have a slip (required for a boat this size correct?)

Pretty much decided on a Ray, I'd like to spend less than 100k. I don't wanna deal with a lot of maintenance, won't use it a ton (weekends in the summer which is memorial day to labor day). I want a quiet generator, AC, a good bathroom, room to layout and comfortable sleeping. My questions...
