Pulled the trigger on a new AR240

[McMark]

From the Pittsburgh boat show.

Pretty excited at the moment. Come on snow...start melting.

The guys at Full Performance Marine were great. Really nice folks and a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommended.

Beautiful boat. Congratulations!

@McMark NICE!!! Freakin' JEALOUS!!!!! Were you able to talk them down at all from the $55,249? Did you get an extended YES warranty? Any added toys?

Living vicariously though you guys getting these new boats! Need someone in Raleigh to get one so I can get my wife on it! LOL

 

[McMark]

a tiny bit better and got a mooring cover thrown in. Unfortunately the price is the price. Super guys to deal with though.

 

[McMark]

Here's what I'm moving up from...





1972 Silverline 16T. All original. Kept up, not fixed up. Original 80 horse Merc. Been a great boat. Never a minutes trouble.

@McMark !!!!!!!!! Big congrats, Son ! Like your "upgrade" ...... LOL ! You won't believe the difference.
Getting personal, did ya explain to your Bride about all of the TOTALLY NECESSARY mods you must now start buying and installing ?
I'ld like to be there, if ya didn't complete that important step. It IS in the manual, y'know. It's about Step # 7 ............
# 5 buy boat, # 6 pay for boat, #7 explain to wife why the heat bill won't be paid this month because it is MORE IMPORTANT to buy a set of Thrust Vector XV's from WIll @ Jet Boat Pilot, # 8 put gas in boat .........
You get the idea. LOL !

First thing @McMark ... CONGRATULATIONS! Second thing, before you do anything else, pull that bow roller off of it before it gets scratched up, and replace it with a Stolz. That plastic roller will mare the finish, if it hasn't already. After that, enjoy that new rig! Congrats again!

 

[Scottintexas]

Both of them look great ! always nice to see something older that's been kept up,

 

[thcole]

I was just on that exact boat. Congrats

 

[Murf'n'surf]

Sweet ride!! You will absolutely love it!!

Do the captains seats recline? The co-captains seat looks bent backwards if they don't recline.

 

[McMark]

Yes they recline. The mrs was in there getting comfy.

 

[GTBRMC]

Nice!!! Beautiful boat. You will love it.

Your previous boat has been a workhorse... but I am guessing you will notice at least a modest performance increase with the AR240.

 

[4x15mph]

Wow, that is a real nice, new boat. You have got to be excited and I know you will take great care of it. Your previous boat looks brand new

Enjoy the new boat.

Nice, I did the same last week.

Your old boat is in amazing condition.

 

[McMark]

Believe me, I'll have a tear in my eye when the old boat sells.

I won't miss mixing oil though.

Congratulations!. . . . . Bought mine at the NYC Boat show on 1/1/14. The most difficult thing now will be all the waiting between now and Spring.

@McMark Could you give me the details of your deal? You can PM me. Looking to purchase same boat in a couple weeks at our boat show out here. Just curious on if you financed, how much cash down etc etc. I know rates vary depending on credit rating but just wondering what the backs were looking for. Thanks. I'm where you were, I have a 1996 Larson now and want to move up to my next-last boat. Hoping to keep the next boat for a long long time.

Beautiful new boat and love the old boat! It is always so hard to get rid of the old ones. My wife says I like to collect old things (bikes and cars)! Something about them just tugs at me. However, I don't want to not get the new cool stuff either! HA! I always say my new stuff will grow old with me! You will have so much more room and fun with the AR.

Stunning. Congratulations!
