My wife and I took a big step in boating a few weeks ago. we sold our much loved 2000 sea ray 330ec/amberjack and purchased a Ocean yacht 48 super sport. it is a bitter sweet decision since we really do like the sea ray but we also found that our family needs created a demand for more space. the ocean certianly has this. it is a little older than what we wanted but the previous owner sent it back to the ocean factory in about 2002 for a total refit of the interior as well as having a a total reglass of the bottom. The new boat will take a little getting used to. it does handle very well but is MUCh bigger and patience mest be used when maneuvering in tight spaces. One intersitng note is that I found it somewhat difficult to find a slip to accomodate the larger boat on the area of the chesapeake where I call home. It seems that there is a real demand for clean marina's that can handle 40'+ boats with wide beams. Good news is that it took me 2 weeks to sell the sea ray. I have found that the used boat market is still a buyers market and it is relatively easy to sell a boat if it is in good shape, clean and priced right.
