    New Slip - Stern in first. Stern eye bolts ?

    Sorry to bring this back to the tie down part of the thread but anyone else have pictures? Been thinking about doing this or adding a cleat inboard of the door so I can access the swim platform. Seems like lots of work and possible structural issues.

    What do you hand the CG if they come aboard

    Just an FYI, I had a safety check this past week and the CG Aux guy said new this year is the local law enforcement aren't supposed to stop boats with a current inspection sticker. This is in Western MI area (Whitelake). He said obviously this wouldn't stop them but they have been told not to...

    Running with the cabin door open

    As far as CO fumes what is protocol for being underway with the cabin door open? Our sales guy said it wasn't a problem but we had the detector go off once. We have the camper canvas on but usually have a few of the panels taken off to keep it cool.

    Used 340 Loan ?

    We made an offer on a nice 2001 340 yesterday but our broker told us this morning he is having a hard time finding financing for it because of the age. I find that hard to believe. Anyone have any lenders that work with older boats?

    Upgrade to 320/ Watersports ?

    Looks like my area is a bit less expensive than for others. I have called around a bunch of marinas in the area and here is what I have put together. Slip- $600 py. We were lucky the house we bought came with a 35' slip at the marina a few blocks away but we have to pay into the...

    Upgrade to 320/ Watersports ?

    Yeah keeping the 230 isn't an option. Need it to help pay for the upgrade. Thanks for the help so far everyone. Few more questions if you don't mind. I have been putting together a budget to make sure we aren't biting off more than we can chew. I know these numbers are subjective to the...

    Upgrade to 320/ Watersports ?

    Thanks for the input. Just to clarify those skiing would be experienced and for the most part going in a straight line. I once skied behind a 60' yacht off of the crane used to lower his dingy. I was more looking to see if it is actually possible to attach a ski rope since I doubt it has a...

    Upgrade to 320/ Watersports ?

    Hey everyone new to the forum but at first glance looks like everyone is a wealth of knowledge. My family is looking at upgrading from a Four Winns 230 Horizon runabout to something larger like the 320 Sundancer. We have a house on a inlet lake in Western MI so we do a combination of boating...
