    Who's the new guy?

    Thanks for all the great replies and advice. As I continue to research, I'm starting to wonder if the weekender series won't better fit my needs. I am leaning more towards keeping the boat on the Napa river and having access to the bay, which for us means more day trips. Not sure if I need...

    Who's the new guy?

    thanks! I forgot to mention that they have a 200+ person waiting list for slips at the lake because there are only two operational marinas thanks to a BLM reclamation project. That kind of took the wind out of my sails. No pun intended.

    Who's the new guy?

    My kids are 9 and 7 so still fairly small. I'm sure the foot-itis is real because I read the post and went and started looking at 260's . Since I'm not committed to having it on the river or lake, I'm still in the mindset of possibly needing to tow it. I have a 2007 Tahoe with a towing...

    Searay 240 Sundancer or Chaparral Signature 240 - Pros/Cons

    Thanks for the suggeston. There are a lot of boats on the east, but shipping seems to be over $3K. I have been using boat trader and expand my search to Nevada, Oregon, etc. I know it could be purchased using pictures, video and a good survey, but buying something like this sight unseen seems...

    Searay 240 Sundancer or Chaparral Signature 240 - Pros/Cons

    Thanks for starting this thread. I'm in the exact same camp! Looking at both a Sea Ray and Chaparral 240 for family and friend use. I'm new to boating as well, and have done a lot of reading and have narrowed it down to these two in the same price range. The selection here on the West Coast...
