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.

The 2870 walkaround. So far it's a pretty close contest between that and the
Grady White. A sea trial and price will be the deciding factors.

I have a Contender 31 Fisharound and I love it.

I've taken a ride on a 2870 and was very impressed. In fact, there
was some thought given to purchasing one when I sold the other
Contender, but I'm kind of a brand loyalist.

You can't go wrong with a Pursuit.

Outboards, inboard w/jackshaft or I/O?

Later,

Tom
