Wahooooo! Got the "better half" to give me the thumbs up on a bigger boat purchase! :smt038:smt038
All I need to do is move our 2005 220 first (which I posted on CL this morning) and I may have a few interested parties already. I have the link if anyone wants to see it.
Definately going the used route because I do not want a boat payment and looking 2000 or newer...........
I have been looking at 280's for the following reasons:
1. Kids still like to ski
2. I already have an '08 F250 and I think I want to get out to some other lakes
3. They do seem to fall in a comfortable price range
4. The bigger boats still intimidate me
BUT, the 310 / 300's have some very attractive points to me:
1. I am a tall and big guy so room would be nice
2. We love to camp and are really wanting to overnight on the boat with our 3 kids.
3. I want to go to the Bahamas before I die with the Sea Ray guys!:grin:
4. I have seen some very nice boats still in my range $$.
5. Would be willing to pay for transport for an island trip.
I wanted to know how many of you felt about the differences in size between these models? substantial?
Is one model more advantageous to doing your own maintenance than the other? I know from what I read it seems that may be dependant upon the year as well.:huh:
Any and all input and responses would be appreciated!:thumbsup:
