thx for the tip. That is why when I'm on my friends boats, I touch NOTHING unless I'm told to, or I ask. What about the door below...do most run with it open or closed if good weather? In pictures I see, the window is open but the door is closed.

My original plan was to cruise & overnight, but then I was looking at cruisers, & not day cruise/fish boats, like I am now. I read that 85%+ of boaters do NOT sleep on their boats, even though they own cabin cruisers! I heard when the Grady club goes from Sarasota to the Keys or Bahamas, the...

Yes, I looked at a brand new Pursuit 266 at my local dealer, & the beam is too narrow. Love the price, & the aesthetics though. If I went Pursuit, it would be the 295, but they are rare to come by used in the SE USA <200 hrs. I've spent many hrs/wk for 3 yrs scouring the boat sales web...

When I sat in the 285, I did notice the top edge of the windshield and its metal edge was right in my line of sight. You have to stand to get a better view. Do the seats telescope up and down a lot to get that metal strip out of the way? The Pursuit's windshield doesn't have that issue...

Were there any significant changes to the 285 or the Yamaha 300's from 2020 to 2022? Do boat models get tweaked like cars every 2-3 years? All the 285's from 2018 to now look the same to me, but I do not have a trained eye. Was there anything added/changed for 2023 that is so great, I...

Thx for the tips. This is exactly why I posted here. I didn't know 250's were even an option, I thought 300's were standard equipment. I'm guessing the 250's get better fuel economy. Would they hurt resale-ability? I don't like going really fast anyways...just occasionally for short spurts...

I've had boat fever down here in /sw FLA for 3 yrs. I'll likely buy in Oct (2023), & I found a rack slot (a minor miracle). I've never owned a boat, but have guidance of 2 friends who are highly experienced, & one currently has a GW. I've been researching & attending boat shows to educate...
