I think everyone here welcomes you with open arms. If this group is asked
for an honest opinion, they will give it- good or bad. That's what's made it
a valuable resource for me.

When asking about whether you should or should not have paid $xxxx for a
particular boat, don't expect to be blue-sky'ed here. Welcome to boat
ownership... open your wallet and say AHHHHHHHH !! (c: =

Man, you guys are a rough crowd. One half-way positive response to a
new boat buyer. Is that how you guys typically welcome new folks? I
bought the boat to have fun as someone stated. I expect with a boat
this age that some repairs may be needed at some point. I don't plan
on sinking a bunch of money into it and believe it will suit my
purposes well.

With your price advisories, I'd have to say you guys haven't been boat
shopping in a while. Maybe prices are higher here in the Southeast, I
don't know. $3000 will not get you a nice boat at all. I have
looked at this boat personally over this past weekend, and in my
novice view, it is a nice boat. It actually looks better in person
than in the pictures. I would have liked to have paid less, but for
the sake of $500 or $1000, I am not going to sweat it.
