It's been quiet here today so I went back through some of the threads I have posteed in the last couple of years...Man oh man ...what a roller coaster ride
from the newbie questions in the beginning
to the resto of the 240 and the 600...a trip to Knoxville...the search for the 340
and the disappointment of not buying the 350/370

Well said. Thank you for taking us along on your journey(s).

ps.... I now have my reading list set for tonight!
 
Good reading and thanks for posting those......appropriate since I will take delivery of a new to me 2002 340DA tomorrow.....my second boat EVER in 13 months (first one went down because of mechanical issues....looong story...maybe another time)...havent even been out enough times to be comfortable with twins yet (as far as docking) but looking forward to the V-Drives instead of what I originally learned on stern drives....thanks for all the reminders of what folks told me originally....gorgeous boat by the way.
 
Yup, it's always a treat to read someone's posts when they're boat shopping, especially when they're vascillating between 2 or 3 different makes/sizes/etc. It's interesting to study the thought processes that we all go through before a major purchase like you did, then the buyer's remorse after a purchase as they second guess themselves.

Ya done great, so no go enjoy your baby.

***THAT LAST LINE SHOULD HAVE READ...."so now go enjoy your baby."

Thank you and believe me...I do every chance I get :wink:
 
Tho thread is a good idea. I have gone back and looked at my early Noobie posts before, checked out my boat shopping thread (thanks Frank!) and others. Kind of interesting to see how things progress.
 
And yet you rose to Founder and Grand Poobah of HITWC. Outstanding!! I've been on since 2010 and can only get to GB fan club status. :lol::lol:
