Im a pretty new boater in terms of getting cruising. My experience has mainly been with Rental/Wake Boats. Its time for me to fulfill my dreams and get a nice boat so I can entertain my family and friends as nobody in my circle has a boat.
So... I was firstly interested in the Searay 260 and now its set on the 320 due to the size and how I will use it. I'm pretty sure its a big boat for a new boater but I will be hiring a professional captain to teach me everything.
The Searay 320 that Im looking at is a 2006 with 800 Hours on it and the condition of the boat just by looking looks pretty good. How are the engines on this boat? I imagine thats were a lot of the $ I will be spending would be going to repairs there?
I will be looking at in more closely this week with a marine mechanic. What kinds of questions should i have? What should i look for? Is 800 hours a lot?
If i do get this boat. How much will it cost me to maintain every year? Yes I understand it will cost money etc and I'm prepared.
Being a excited new boater... Is there anything else I should know or any advice anybody can give me?
Thanks!
