Hello Cruisers,
It took almost 2 months of searching to find the boat that suited me the Best.
( ok, my GF had a little influence, lol )
after one month of ads, I narrowed it down to a Sea Ray, or a Chris Craft.
Being a retired blue collar man, I found the right combo of; asking price, condition, appearance, and Seller circumstances.
1986 340 Sedan Bridge, twin 340 V8’s with 1000 hours on each. The Seller, Ralph was a very nice Gentleman, who had matured to the point of not being able to operate and maintain the boat he owned for the past 5 years.
It has full canvas in good shape, generator, no radar but decent electronics, working head with shower, heat and A/C, electric windlass, etc.
needs a minor bit of TLC, which we are happy to provide.
have a Survey and haul out scheduled for next week.
I’m Stoked!
