Tennessee Newbie

Just got our 2005 Sea Ray 240 Sundeck. We are so excited and nervous. Been years since we were last into boating and our last boat was a 17' runabout. Keeping it dry stacked which is convenient.

This is a great boat...rides and runs great! Will mostly boat on the TN river and Chickamauga Lake.

Still working on docking skills....:smt101

Welcome. I found the key to docking whether bow or aft in, twin or single screw, is just take it slow. Single screw is a little more less foregiving/manueverable.

Are you docking or trailering?

Welcome aboard. The 240 is a great boat if I do say so myself.(Grin) I've found the axes point on the 240 is about where the front table is. The TN river is some of our favorite water.

We are keeping it dry stacked for now at a marina at Chickamauga Dam. Finding this to be really convenient for us now since we live close by. Besides, don't have a vehicle that will pull the weight.

Tennessee river is fun, but on the weekend looks like it can get a bit rough with all the boat traffic...and toss in a little wind...

Just remember when docking to never drive faster then you would want to hit the dock.... it helps haha

I'm from just up the lake from you near the chattanooga yacht club... though I guess I need to introduce myself to everyone as well.

For about 30+ years now. Big news is that YHC is going 4 years now.
