Hello all,
I am actually just a high school student. Although, I am the Captain of LEGAL LIMIT nearly 100% of the time, the boat belongs to my parents :lol:. I have been boating since 10 years old, and currently have my Boaters' License. :thumbsup:
Anyway - We keep Legal Limit at a local marina, but we have a mooring as well (which we are not currently using). Technically, we should be using the mooring, so we may be looking into purchasing a smaller Sea Ray (in the sport boat range) to keep on the mooring. In Florida, we rented a 20 ft Sea Ray Sport - Great boat. Fun, fast, good for tubing/wakeboarding/whatever. I'm looking for some input on this boat, and any other recommendations in the size range. My parents are not looking to spend too much, and I am just looking for some ideas. Definitely looking at used boats, - probably years between 2004 and 2009(?). This idea is in the early stages, as we have a long winter ahead of us.
Although we primarily boat in ocean conditions, we are not looking for the ultimate sea-worthy boat. We would use the 270 most of the time, especially for family outings, but if I took friends out, the smaller boat would be easier to handle with friends that don't have boating experience, rather than trying to manage docking/anchoring/etc. the 270 by myself.
Just looking for ideas/thoughts/tips/recommendations.
Thanks in advance,
Brandon
