    Thoughts on Bravo4s

    In looking at "Surf" bowriders I noticed that those of similar size and style with Bravo4s have at least 12' more depth than similar Volvo FWD units. I know hull designs effect this but that's a huge difference. Any thoughts? Searay 260 Surf 48" draft! Thanks!

    Thanks Mike! Kids are starting to have families and both have expressed their desire for us to move there. Sarasota, the boat, dock friends, all were a great adventure for us but we feel the need to be a part of our kids and grandkids lives. Keep working on your handicap and stay healthy!

    Retirement

    Retirement is a PROCESS. It is not just flipping a switch . I retired early at 62 and have done several things since then. I learned that not HAVING to do/go somewhere makes you less likely to stay in an activity if you dont enjoy it. Don't be so concerned with needing to tell people how busy...

    Why do private sellers think using a broker increases the value of their boat?

    I have bought and sold multiple boats. I used a broker for the first time when I sold the last one, (460DA) 8 months ago. Before I engaged his services I told him what I needed to net. Sold it in 6 weeks. Broker shaved a bit off his commission, I shaved a bit and the seller came up a bit...

    Today 33 Years of Continous SR Ownership Ended

    copb8tx, We are in the same place. Sold our SR 460DA and ATTEMPTING to buy on west coast of Florida. Then, or perhaps before, finding a day boat in the 30' range with outboards. Agreed that 99% of them are to "fishy" for our taste. We have friends with both DC & CC's and convinced us that...
