Me and Mrs. rrrr decided to upgrade this year after all. A buddy of mine offered me $3K over book value for my present bowrider so we went to the boat show to look.
We are friends of a family that owns a dealership here in Plano, they are the Chapparal reps. We got a boomer deal and it's a really nice boat. Decided to go with the 496 Mag, the HO upgrade seemed like too much money for 50 HP.
We talked about getting a custom like an Eliminator, but we use this boat for a lot of family type stuff so a production bowrider just works better. Besides, I have a V drive if we wanna go fast.
Can't wait for it to get here. Gonna be the end of April or thereabouts.
