Hi everyone! I'm Rick from Arizona. I purchased my first boat August 2007 ~ It took me for ever to talk the wife into it but it was worth the wait. I ended up purchasing a used 2000 240DA and here in AZ A/C is a must; since the previous owner had air installed I thought it was a good choice. Just after buying it I had to rebuild the trailer (still ticked @ MarineMax for that) and the raw water pump went out after the first 30 seconds on the water. I'm glad they at least replaced that. Lesson learned - Never ever trust a boat dealer.
I've got a million other lessons I've learned in the past 8 1/2 months of ownership - I just added a large battery bank and inverter to power the a/c while I'm out - I rarely dock the boat as I keep it on the trailer most of the time. Well, I just wanted to say 'Hi' I am going to try to add an anchor windlass some day and came across this site while researching that. Have a good day.
