Above........right before we dropped her in the water ..............



Below.........a couple hours later, after "getting to know her better" out on Tuckerton Bay......docked behind the house!

And as we left to go home, one last look until next weekend!

Only had one day, but I'm in love! The marina who handled the brokerage couldn't have done a better job of taking care of me.......handled the laundry list of items I wanted fixed, didn't charge me a dime, and delivered the boat on Sunday even though it was their day off, because it didn't get done in time Saturday. Called me a few hours later to see if I had any questions, and asked me to call if I had any issues at all, thanked me sincerely for my purchase, and after we made arrangements for winterization and winter storage, thanked me profusely for the additional business. I won't name them here because I don't know if that's allowed, but if anyone is shopping for a boat or service, PM me and I'd highly recommend these fellas!

Anyway.......lovin' the boat! Found out I don't think I'll run the thru-hull Corsa's as much as I though I would, (LOUD!!), because I'll enjoy the great stereo system a lot more. PLENTY of power for the boat, although I can see why many boats this size and weight are indeed twin-screw powered. It's "fast enough" but I could easily imagine another 375HP engine back there! LOL! But overall, no complaints yet! But it's a boat.......give it a few more rides....something will break or I'll find something to rant about!

As a matter of fact......there IS the matter of the seven year old chartplotter I'm not in love with.......might keep that for the gauge readings and add a Garmin (my favorite brand) big enough to read and modern enough to display reliable charts!
 
Looks great! Congratulations on your purchase.
 
Great pictures, great weather, great boat!!!
Congrats
 
Congrats on the purchase. The boat looks awesome! I'm glad to see another SLX owner here on this site!
 
Congrats! Looks great. A boat like this was high on my list before I got my older 280 Dancer. I really wanted a day boat, but the lady wanted a cabin.... she won.

And, I'll bet yours scoots along pretty good. I like speed, which my 280 is barely adequate.

Hope you have a great time with that boat, looks like a lot of fun.
