Can't go wrong with the 230. Not that I have any issues with the 240s, but I love my 230 and have no plans to trade up. Nothing in the 240 I strictly NEED. Welcome, and good luck on your (someday, future) purchase!

Thank you very much!!! Looking forward to learning more and am humbled by the welcoming response.

I am happy to report that I do have proper tow vehicle at the ready. I sold my 3er last summer and bought a Tahoe :)

Welcome to the site. Glad you found us. A neighbor with a Yamaha would be the perfect neighbor. That is if you had access to the boat. Who am I kidding. I wouldn't loan mine out either. Good luck with your search.

Good deal. Enjoy yourself. If you ever make it down around Cincinnati let me know. According to the user map you have some really great people near you. Don't be afraid to contact them if you need help.

And once you get your boat, be sure to post some pictures in our "Show us your boat!" thread.

Welcome!

Does your craft stock bourbon? I may come visit, if so... :)

@tdonoughue I am a bit partial to the TN Whiskey... bad habits... but bourbon from KY works well too!

Looking forward to posting to the show us your boat thread!

Thanks!

I try to be an equal opportunity drinker and not discriminate. I will drink whichever happens to be on your boat... ;)
