Title: Do you know anyone with a boat for sale?
Post by: mrmike1964 on August 29, 2014, 06:11:51 PM: I'm looking for a cruiser something around a 35 to 45 footer. I though I would see if anyone in GATR knows of one for sale. I've looked at a couple but haven't found one I want yet. No wood boats! Fiberglass or aluminum.
Here are a couple I'm going to look at this weekend.

Two happiest days of a boat owners life,
The day he buys it,
The day he sells it.

But, I would be without mine, nothing like being on the water!

I'll sell you an Air Nautique.

Post by: mrmike1964 on August 30, 2014, 09:08:16 AM: Thanks Clark. I want to keep it under 75.000 I have been looking for a while now I just haven't seen the one that I really can't live with out. I liked one that was a older 48' Hatteras with twin Cat's. It just needed to much work done to it. It was in dry dock for over 5 years with out a cover or any maintenance. I'm going to look at a Chris Craft later today. I have seen this one before out on the lake. It looked clean and sounded like it runs good.

I haven't seen a Sea Ray I liked yet. I just don't like the way there laid out. But I really haven't looked at that many of them. I like the Trojan's and Hatteras.

Post by: mrmike1964 on August 30, 2014, 02:24:17 PM: From here to Alaska I never thought about it. That would take a lot of WVO to get all the way around to Alaska!
The wife and I have been wanting to get another boat. We had to wait till the kids moved out and we don't have to support them anymore. (well not as much anyway) I had a 40foot Pacemaker back when Cheryl and I met. I lived on the water for 9 years 4 with Cheryl. I was a diver and did shell fishing. What every I could do on the water to make a $. Then we moved in land to have kids. We want to find something we can stay on for a couple weeks at a time if we want. I will probable take it from Eufaula Al down the Chattahoochee river to the Gulf someday. But for now we will use it on the lake. Cheryl and I are having fun looking. We looked at a Chris Craft today but one of the motors was bad and It's been sitting in salt water for a long time.

For stink pots I'd probably look at http://www.boattrader.com/search-results/State-GA%7CGeorgia/NewOrUsed-any/Type-any/Sort-Length:DESC/ and http://www.yachtworld.com/boats/Power/Trawler
We have discussed selling the sailboat and getting a trawler but I am not sure about the gas mileage.

Post by: The_Dealer on September 01, 2014, 01:07:32 AM: A Jeep and a boat...sounds expensive. Chapparal, Four Winns, and Regal would be a few good ones to check out.

My step dad has an 05 Chaparral Signature 330 he bought new, and it's been good to him. You should be able to find an 05 or newer in your price range.
