    Saved, planned, got a boat- then got fired.

    Definately race. Already won one national and finished 2nd in two others. It's a fun hobby but with the new gig it's tough go often due to the time away- maybe 4-5 races a year. I'm really excited about the boat and getting her prepped for use. Picking it up Tuesday! The risers are cracked so...

    Saved, planned, got a boat- then got fired.

    Well.... Thought I'd update this post. The boat sold straight away- it was easy. Turned out I did'nt need to sell the boat as I landed on my feet 1 month after the layoff (wish I would have relaxed a bit during that time!). Took my "boat money" and picked up a race car (a hobby I've had for...

    Saved, planned, got a boat- then got fired.

    Thanks all- yes, that's my boat on the bay. had a TON of emails, several people say they wanted it, several more low ball offers. I set the reserve at 56k, which I feel is more then fair. The trailer is available for another $2500 to the buyer. I'd like to sell it but by no means will it be the...

    Thanks fellas. For the past 3 years I was employeed by a company that provides floor plans for automotive dealers and was the regional manager in the northeast area (even though I live in the southeast). I have a dual degree in professional sales and marketing, and worked at an automotible...

    Saved, planned, got a boat- then got fired.

    Yep, title says it all. We saved $10k for a downpayment, paid for a marina slip, transportation, insurance.... Purchased a "dream boat", then have spent the past two weeks upgrading/ cleaning/ etc... Today I lost my job. So, if anyone is interested in a 2006 260da with an aluminum...

    Oil Spill in the Gulf

    This is a tradegy. We can't afford the clean up nor can we afford not to try although I doubt it's even possible. I believe BP should be responsible for the clean up, as well as reimbursing those who will be effected... we've canceled our annual week vacation in the Destin area- think about all...

    Shore Power Questions and a few other questions

    The radio and light operate on 12v (batteries). Shore power will keep the batteries charged as long as your breaker for the charger is turned on.

    Harbor freight

    I just returned an air compressor that lasted 30min. Still, they gave me a new one and I purchased a 2.5yr warranty.... Like others have said, it's mostly junk with the occassional jewel.

    GPS Transducer Installation

    Great question- I'm in the process of doing this myself. My boat did have a Garmin system and from what I can tell it looks like they may have installed a transducer in the "factory" location in front of the engine. On my boat the stock transducer does not work and there appears to be an extra...

    New 260DA owner, few questions...

    Great, thanks. I spent the entire day cleaning, fixing, etc. The interior looks like new again. I moved the VHF radio back down to the stock location and the Hummingbird 788 in the dash. Still need to wire it up... Made an aluminum plate (attached via silicone and SS screws) to cover the area...

    New 260DA owner, few questions...

    Great! I'll take a look. With the holes I was hoping to use nuts & bolts (button head allen bolts) with rubber washers and/ or silicone.... Also discovered the speakers are shot and the wired remote is inop. Survey missed all this stuff

    New 260DA owner, few questions...

    Alos, the floor drain in the stairwell is very slow- ok to use draino (it's out of the water)?

    New 260DA owner, few questions...

    Did the long drive yesterday- 7:00am to 2:45am and now have the 260 in my driveway. It was a terrible drive last night through heavy storms and strong wings. The boat pushed me all over the road at any speed above 55 for most of the trip. Anyway, I made it. No video folks as she got up before I...

    Just purchased a 260!

    The checklist is very short now and I am on schedule to go get our boat Friday... I'll be sure to take that video for you folks, although it might have to be 1st thing in the am (like Christmas morning) as I'll be arriving late. I'm making the trip from Atlanta to Lousiana (and back) on...
