Gene, on your site you have a link to grady-white. That link took me to some
page that seems to sell everything but boats. Try changing it to
http://www.gradywhite.com/

Oh... crap.... sorry... my bad....

Don't anybody else go to that Grady-White site.... I think it is
probably not a safe site to visit.

Again, the site with the boats does NOT have a hyphen in it....

No sweat.

Ok so I did it!

I bought a 2004 bayliner 225 runabout with the 260hp 5.0 MPI engine,
snap in carpet, bimini cover, upgraded speakers, etc. It's one of 3 the
dealer has left over, so it's brand new. I am buying a moorage cover
and a sunbrela bow/cockpit cover for it as well. Very excited to get
this thing on the water! I cant beleive my girlfriend actually went for
it

On a side note, I listed my 1997 maxum 2000srl in my company newspaper
on friday, saturday morning I got a email from a guy who wanted to see
it.. I showed it to him, he loved it, he's paying for a $300 mechanical
inspection this friday and if it passes he's buying it for what I
wanted to get out of it.

This is working out perfect! I will post some pics of the boat once I
get it.

Ok, who's going to be the first to tell him the bad news?

Later,

Tom

what bad news? Dont give me the old "bayliner sux and maxum rocks"
speech.

Hey, hey, congrats!

Here's hoping you enjoy the living heck out of your new boat.
As an acquaintance once said, "You're here for a good time, not for a
long time."

You'll find 40 people who will tell you did the right thing, and 40
more to tell you you screwed up, but if this is the boat you wanted
that's the only important phrase in the bottom line. :-)

Ya.. it's just the perfect boat. Just for some background, the only
other boat that looked appealing was the 22foot sea ray. I really like
the seating in both those models. Of course the sea ray is a "bit" more


I am really excited.. of course with my luck it will rain all dam
summer

Right on! Nay-sayers will be mostly those who want but cannot afford a new
boat. The sour grapes syndrome in full bloom. We are about to take the
plunge too.

Good luck on your purchase, I must admit I have been feeling a bit of
buyers remorse but once I get the sucker in the water that will all
melt away.

Peter what kind of boat are you looking at?

A 28 foot walkaround mainly for fishing. We have narrowed it down to either
the Grady White or the Pursuit. We'll base the boat in Beaufort, NC. We are
on temporary hold waiting for the spring buying frenzy to slow and prices to
drop. We hope to be in the water for the fall fishing season.

What model Pursuit? I love those boats.
