So Check this out. We would never have had this were we still in blighty. We are 2 1/2 hours from the coast but we mainly go to the lake which is about 20 mins away from us. They say the 2 best days in a boat owners life are when you buy the boat and when you sell it! I can see where they come from. This thing eats money. It's been good though we have enjoyed it and will continue to enjoy it until we sell it. Who knows when that will be.
