My first Sea Ray almost REALITY! 2002 380

[380dancer]

:smt038 Thanks to all the great advice thus far I have successfully negotiated the first part of the journey to my (new to me) 380 Sundancer. I took the advice of many who thought I should look farther North for a boat. I did, and I found one just a little more north in North Carolina. Its a year newer than the 2001 of my previous post and loaded! I head to N.C. next week for survey and sea trial.......I am PSYCHED! Please keep the advice coming! Thanks.

Hope it goes well. Whereabouts in NC? Have you found a surveyor yet?, might be able to recommend one if not.

Thanks. I guess Im all set with a surveyor. I also was provided with the survey that was done for the last purchase of the boat. The boat is in Chocowinity.

If you "think" you are set up with a survey it must be with the selling broker. If so, do you think that is the best idea? I would think you would want to use an independant surveyor such as the one offered.

I'm sure there are no dishonest surveyors out there....right? :thumbsup:

lol....yeah I,m sure there has never been any kickbacks to surveyors...RIGHT! My surveyor is independant and hired by me outside the brokers knowledge.

Congrat's. If something does not work out a friend of mine has a 2001 380 with 350 Cats 500 hours for sale. Fresh water until 3 month's ago. Excellent condition. I bought my 410 from him and it was a great boat and a great deal.
He's asking 133k.

Way to go! :smt038 See....you don't even need us. :smt089

Oh yes I certainly will need you guys in the very near future. From what I am gathering, this is the easy part. Maintaining the boat is the real challenge.
