    LKN: How may of us out there?

    Most of our work is on Lake Norman so we keep a 28' pontoon work boat at Kingspoint Marina. Great people and reasonable rates. I wish Lake Wylie had the restaurants Lake Norman has. We keep our personal boat near T-Bones restaurant at River Hills Marina. River Hills is 25 minutes from...

    Thinking about a 330 DA ...

    There is a $7250.00 difference in the high-retail value of this boat and NADA. Our lender (USAA) goes off NADA. Seller paid 65k 18 months ago and has his boat listed for 60k. He last comment to me was: Going off your NADA and that's what your lender is going to use then I'll let you know...

    Thinking about a 330 DA ...

    It was a red flag for me too. I can relate though, my 1998 Chris Craft 260 has only 48 hrs on it for the same reason. Faria replaced the tach that has the hour meter incorporated into it and that's how many hours I've put on it since. He was equally concerned when he bought it but spoke to...

    Thinking about a 330 DA ...

    Thanks for the tip. I looked the layout and found one - your right, it looks exactly what I may need. There is one available 60k, emailed and talked with the owner today and everything sounds great. I halfway feel guilt posting this but here are the specs: 1999 Regal Commodore 322 - 32'0"...

    Thinking about a 330 DA ...

    Thanks for the tip ... I had a Regal (3 boats ago) and liked it. There is a Regal dealer here but they must not sell as many boats as other brands, there aren't many used available.

    Thinking about a 330 DA ...

    I've looked at the Cruisers but there haven't been any around here in the 33' size and in the < 60k price range. There is a guy locally claiming to have Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s 40 Cruiser Yacht for sale ... it's an '05 I believe selling for 220k. I really like the layout in the Chris Craft 328...

    Thinking about a 330 DA ...

    Re-thinking a 330 DA ... Somewhat of a disappointment. The condition of this boat left allot to be desired. Current owner wasn't much help and did not know a thing about the boat. Buying this boat would mean alot of work on my part. This was the first 330 we had ever been in. Neither...

    Thinking about a 330 DA ...

    Wish us luck ... we're going to look at the 1998 shortly. Seller's asking price is 55k. He has said the bottom paint and canvas needs replacing. I've seen similar boats selling for 55k with new canvas and bottom paint. I am considering using 55k as a starting point and working backwards...

    Thinking about a 330 DA ...

    How many different layout's did the 330 have in '97 and '98? I found another '98 that looks interesting, the most expensive of them all but looks to have been well taken care of and needs nothing per the PO. According to soldboats data I was able to get their is a difference of about 5k...

    I am looking forward to not being the red-headed stepchild.

    Thinking about a 330 DA ...

    We've outgrown our Chris Craft 260 and found a 1998 330 DA that looks like it may work for us. These boat upgrades seem to have a pattern of happening every couple years. Each boat has taught us something new and brought us closer and closer to realizing a larger cruiser makes sense for...

    Looking for boat lift recommendation

    I would say your dock is under floated. It's not uncommon to see a slip built without a roof and then a roof is added without additional flotation. As a rule, we try not to ever have less than half the float in the water. Based on your 16" floatation you should have at least 8" of float above...

    Looking for boat lift recommendation

    Wow, you should leave your home lake. There's a whole other world out there. Ha ha.

    Looking for boat lift recommendation

    Yes. It's a floating dock. There are collared pilings securing the slip/roof.

    Looking for boat lift recommendation

    Slip I have a little bit of good news and some bad. Let's start with the good: You have lots of water and that is great! Dredging is more expensive than dock work and permitting a dredge job (I have heard) can be a challenge. The bad ... Your dock. Assuming the frame and structure of...

    Looking for boat lift recommendation

    We sell cable and floating lifts. I would have to see a photo of your dock to determine which would work best. A cable lift can be hung from side-mount brackets and a custom lift can be cut to fit the spacing you are working with. Go to this link: http://www.waterjack.net/contact.html and...

    Food on Lake Wylie

    You're right ... the newspaper said 190-something I think. Looked to me like a whole lot more, they just kept going and going. There is some truth to Midtown Sundries coming too. "Also planned for the marina are a fuel and ship store, along with a dockable restaurant run by Midtown Sundries."...

    GPS Recommendations

    I just ordered Garmin H20 iFinder to use on our jet-ski and hope to use it in our boat too. I plan to install it on the jet-ski with a motorcycle handlebar type mount from ram-mount and use a vehicle mount for the boat.

    Boat lifts for 34-36' good & bad?

    Happy to help with boat lift advise/recommendations. We are a Poly Lift and Galvalift dealer and have travelled into your area with our floating lift business. These floating style lifts work best if you have a u-slip. We sell cable lifts too but are limited to the Carolina lakes where we...
