    Interested in being hired for on-the-water boat training at Lake Perris or Elsinore?

    Hi Everyone, I know this is a long-shot, but I was wondering if any of you (or someone you know) might be interested in being hired to take my wife and me out to teach us launching, boating around, and retrieving of our "new-to-us" 2005 Searay 240 Sundeck. I imagine it would take 1-2 hours. We...

    Hello Everyone! :smt100 So I bought a 2005 Sundeck 240. I'm prepping for my maiden voyage, and checking everything out.
