Hi Guys,
This is a step I neglected to do last year when I joined the forums. My name is Jeremy, I'm from Brockville, Ontario (Canada). Lifelong sailor but last year, I decided that I only love racing sailboats, not cruising them so Miss Alison and I pursued going over to the dark side of "power".
Having boated quite a bit, we loved the look and reputation of Sea Rays so started a local search. However, after hearing about cheap shipping deals in the U.S., we found a 2003 260 DA at Prince William Marina in Woodbridge VA. We got a great deal on a certified pre-owned boat and had literally the best purchase experience of anything I've ever bought, down to a cup of coffee with our salesman, James Ross.
We shipped the boat up to Alexandria Bay NY in May 2009 and had a fantastic summer in the islands, weather notwithstanding. Loved the boat, the lifestyle and the people we met on the ride.
In August, a guest crewman on our racing sailboat expressed his admiration of our boat and asked if we'd be interested in selling it. Having only considered a larger boat in passing, we jumped at the chance (selling for more than we paid) and bought a 2006 300 from James Ross in September.
Here it is, after a cold winter looking at pictures of our new blue boat, April 2010 and we are so excited about getting the boat in a few weeks.
Looking forward to sharing and learning here!
