Hello everyone. Just picked up an 07 240DA. Absolutely beautiful boat and very well maintained with only 81hours. I've been doing a lot of research on here and looking forward joining the group!

Welcome aboard.

Welcome, that is the definition of “low hours”! Post some pics when you get time

Welcome.

Thanks for the welcome. I don’t have many pics yet but here are few.

Congrats on your new boat. We had a 240 back in the day. Great on gas with that 5.0 and a ton of fun out on the water. The only downside is the cramped sleeping arrangements.

 

[Halfhitch]

Welcome. Nice looking setup and it looks spotless.

Welcome to CSR. Nice looking boat and you two are going to have a lot of fun with her.

My grandparents lived on Davis Bayou at Eagle Point. Had to drive through Magnolia State Park and the Gulf Shore Research Institute to get there. That used to be a 4H Camp. I was there the day before Camille hit in August 1969. I was there before the alligators moved in….fun times fishing, crabbing, and shrimping. Got caught out at Horn Island in early 70’s when a freak storm rolled in. The next day the papers said ‘Hurricane Force Winds’. We were in a 21 foot Anacapri (?) in 12 foot following seas. Good times.

Wow Davis bayou is just few miles from us. Actually we pass by there where we launch. Small world. West tip of horn island is our go to spot.

So was I. I was stationed at Keesler AFB when Camille came to say hello. We spent a week without power or water and hauled a garbage can with a plastic bag liner to a water distribution site. Many, many stories to tell about the time Camille came to dinner!
