Finally -- New to me boat coming soon

Won’t you need a bigger slip now?

So after 3 long years, dozens of posts here, two rejected surveys, many rejected boats, boats sold when called, non-responsive brokers, and crazy sellers, I am finally ready to close this week. 1998 370 Sundancer. Saw the boat two years ago in my marina but couldn't pull the trigger and regretted it. Didn't hesitate this time. To say it was a frustrating search is an under statement -- it's crazy out there.

It's now on the Michigan side of Lake Michigan, so I have to bring it accross as soon as possible. A bit nerve racking in a new to me boat. I may chicken out and go down and arround like I did last time. Anyone going my way? :)

First order of business will be to install the fox marine gateways and hook up to the new GPS so I can figure out the goofy tachs.

Oh, and here's your proof. :) View attachment 131324

Congratulations! You must be very happy now. Very nice looking boat!
 
What is her name?

No name yet. We are in "negotiations." Probably something to do with the dog's name -- Sonny.

Was she nameless previously? Just curious...
 
Congrats Golfman. I know you’ve been looking for a few years. Wish I still had my 370. Our trip to bring her home was from Winthrop Harbor to New Buffalo. We left in 6’-8’s and it calmed down half way down the lake. She handled it very well. Good Luck!

We looked extensively at the 370 before we ended up with our 400. Great boat. Don't sweat the trip across - just pick the right weather day and it's a really cool trip.
 
Well the checks have "cleared" so I guess that makes it official. Watching the weather and it looks like Friday, Saturday or Sunday will be the crossing. Forecast calling for 1-3 in open water. Truck is packed with all my safety gear -- PLB, hand held vhf, ditch bag with Real life vests, a bunch of other life vest variations, flares, and two new fire extinguishers, tools, fuel filters, etc. :)
