I've got Progressive's towing option on my insurance policy with as well, though I'm not sure if it's the sign and glide or not... I thought it was a Sea Tow membership, but I could be mistaken. I can't give any opinions on the matter as I've thankfully never had to use it yet, knock on wood.

The $10 was well worth it just to get rid of the ads alone, not to mention it goes towards helping the website, which is great as well. Money well spent.

First off, when you say the motors check out, what do you mean and who supposedly inspected the motors? The previous owner? A Yamaha tech? A surveyor? Yourself? Also, when were they last inspected? I'd have a surveyor or even yourself inspect the entire boat, including the outboards. Hopefully...

I just donated, please put me on the list for no ads, thanks.

There's an option to use PayPal, which is what I just did.

It really just depends on the asking price for the boat, your ability or not to travel back east, cost of shipping, etc. I bought my 2004 Grady White 228 Seafarer back in late September of 2021 in Maryland for $26,500... when similar boats were selling, and have sold since then out here or...

An asking price would help out tremendously, as well as I believe one is also required to post an ad for sale here on the site.

I too was looking for you on the east coast... of where you can oftentimes find a much better deal if you're willing to shop around, do the drive yourself or if you pay to have it shipped out her and the shipping costs aren't too bad or anything. Good luck with the search/surveyor on Wednesday...

Was that Matt Marshall from the other thread? I saw the boat on Boat Trader and was going to link it in my response on the other thread, but saw you had already done so. Congrats again!

This is an extremely vague question as Garmin MFD's come in all different sizes from 4"-5" on up to 27". The below linked boat, of which I have no affiliation with, has twin 12" displays on it and it appears to just barely fit. Why not just let us know which models/sizes you're considering going...

That was quick... congrats on the sale!

Just a heads up fellas... the OP doesn't appear to have been back to the site since posting over a month and a half ago. Not sure if that means that he's found a boat or not.

I'm not trying to push Mercury or anything, just trying to give a few options... that being said, I imagine the fuel economy thing has a bit to do with what you mentioned above in that I believe all Mercury 250's are going to be a v8, vs the Yamaha F250 which is a v6. So, I imagine that is where...

I love the idea of going with the Suzukis for their 7 year warranty, from what I've heard very good customer service, reputation, the amount of money you save with them as opposed to Yamaha and so forth. The only issue that you CAN, though not always will face with them, is that they CAN be on...

Part of it is horsepower to weight ratio with regard to the performance data being the same between twin outboards and a single. This is true as you have slightly more horsepower but you've also got considerably more weight on there, especially with the older/earlier 4 stroke motors that could...

That sealant under the right flap of the bang plate/cap looks quite gnarly and as though someone has obviously been in there doing some work, of which it might not have been the best work? I'd replace the bang plate/cap with a new one, or glass it in entirely to make it look a lot nicer as well...

I would disagree on not financing a 20 year old boat, or almost 20 year old boat, especially if you can get a great interest rate, or if you want to keep your money in the bank, etc. Back in October of 2021 when I bought my boat, I financed it and it was almost 20 years old at the time. I've got...

I think a little bit of clarity is needed here… do you currently have a boat that you’re worried about or are you considering purchasing a boat that could be over 20 years old? If so, where are you located and which credit unions are you looking into potentially using? Boat US will go up to as...

I believe, and don’t quote me on this without confirming first, that as long as it’s less than 20 years old when you first purchase the boat or are approved for the loan is all that really matters. Otherwise, if you had an 7-10 year loan, you’d have to buy a boat that’s less than 10-13 years of...

I can’t personally recommend anyone locally as I’ve never bought a boat in the area before. When I have bought my boats on the east coast and used a surveyor, I would use either of the two websites below, look up the surveyor or their business on Google and see what their reviews/ratings have...
