    Buying a vaction home - It's a whole new ballgame.

    Another update. We just got back from our west coast visit, and we feel we like the west coast area better. Looked at Tampa/St Petersburg, and Ft Myers areas. Looks like a lot of good boating on the west side too. We did find one in particular we liked. We are making sure the associations...

    Buying a vaction home - It's a whole new ballgame.

    A little update for everyone. I type this from our Hotel in Ft Lauderdale,as we watch the weather with great interest. We looked at several places yesterday and today. We really liked a couple, and one in particular in Pompano Beach. It is definitely improving around here. Our first choice...

    Buying the right boat

    I towed my 240 quite easily for the two years I had it. I was also able to ski and tube behind it. And we spent long weekends on it as well. The 240 is a very versatile boat. The only bad thing about mine was that it had a 5.0 with 220 hp, (carb)and it felt underpowered when loaded with people.

    Slip vs Mooring

    I trailered my 240 sundancer the entire time I owned it. (About 2 years) I have a diesel truck, and it was not hard to trailer at all. Trailered it on a couple 6 hour drives with no problems. Heck, I've even trailered my 280 a couple times, including a 5 hour drive. The actual trailering isn't...

    Official 280 Sundancer Thread

    I've got a triple axle prestige trailer made for the 280 that seems to fit the boat great. They are out of business now, but maybe you could find a used one.

    Broker Issue - Deposit withheld from failed deal.

    Filing a complaint with the BBB can't hurt, as some businesses want to stay clean, but I suspect these slime balls don't care about their rating. I found two superbrokers listed with the BBB. Neither accredited with the BBB. One in Ohio, the other in Michigan. Both had A+ ratings, with no...

    Did you go to Chick-fil-A today?

    I've only been a few times as they aren't around here yet, but I've noticed those items you listed. They have exceptional service there and good food and that's why we like them.

    Did you go to Chick-fil-A today?

    Don't have any near me, but when I visit places that do have them - I make a point to go there. We like their food, and the employees are always very friendly. I agree with what has been said by some, that it seems that if someone doesn't agree or side with minority opinions, they are...

    THT and Sea Ray

    Exactly. I notice bad driving with all brands. I would imagine all brands have similar percentage of newbies. Myself, I didn't own a sea ray until boat #6, so hopefully I'm past the newbie stage.

    So The Knee jerk Reactions Start! Sorry New York!

    So, in other words - everyone gets an insurance discount since the safety courses would be required? On one hand - it is kind of crazy that anyone can hop aboard a 35' boat and just start sailing away, so I guess I can understand their intent. SOME boaters could benefit from safety courses...

    Buying a vaction home - It's a whole new ballgame.

    So, what is anybodys experience of condos vs coops? We've found a couple coops for sale, but their fees seem higher. What are the primary differences between the two? I tell you what though, there a lot of condos for sale in Florida, with prices all over the place. We are still trying to...

    Buying a vaction home - It's a whole new ballgame.

    Frank, Wow! Thank you so much for that very valuable insight. I really appreciate all the information you provided. It gives us even more to think about. I have been a little unsure of the realtors we keep coming across. If anyone has a good lead for one down there, we would certainly...

    Buying a vaction home - It's a whole new ballgame.

    Maybe we need a better realtor. We did look some on the west coast - Ft Meyers and surrounding area. She told us our Sundancer 280 would be too big for the intercoastal water ways and that we wouldn't fit under the bridges to get to the ocean. Maybe you have a lead or two for us? Specific...

    Buying a vaction home - It's a whole new ballgame.

    I remember a time not long ago when if your credit was ok, and you had a little cash, it got you into a home. And then we had the whole mortgage fiasco's, and now things are much different. With the interest rates being at points they say may never be this low again in our lifetimes, and...
