First I'll get up on the stage and state" Hi, my name is Dominc and I AM a USED boat buyer".....I have always found that I get the best bang for my dollar by buying used, and if you buy right, it makes it that much less painfull to move up (and get the admiral's buy-in to move up).......in '98 we bought our first twin engine cruiser a '93 330DA....we moved up in '01 to our second 330DA a '98 model (long story there) and then in '05 we moved up to our '02 380DA, and hopefully, if all works out, in '06 (next week) we'll be into our '03 410DA-D.....the admiral had me sign a contract that I won't move up again for 5 years.....In between buying years we also bought an 18' laguna CC, a 9' dinghy, a kayack, a paddle boat and a canoe....
Life is like a ride on a merry-go-round.....you only go around once...(you can't say next ride I'll do it differently).....and there's no guarantee you get a full ride.....Life is short....you gotta have toys.....
I think that we (most Csr members) can't get the best deals....
We love Searay boats that much, that if we fall in love... we pay a little more :smt021 :smt021
But we enjoy our boat 10X more than "normal" boaters. :thumbsup:
So in the end we get paid back!!
Only those admirals :smt100 :smt100
Have fun in live.
