Finalizing the details on a new to me 2008 AR230 HO in excellent condition with only 89 hours. Already been doing a ton of reading here. Cant wait for spring to get going. Located specifically in Apex, NC and spend most my time on Harris or Jordan.

Nice boat. Which ramp do you use? We go to seaforth when we go cause we like the pull through parking spots.

@waterboy knows the best ramp on Jordan, I always forget the name of it. (and don't use the one right before it, they lock the gates early)

We use this ramp right off Hwy 64, very nice. 6 lanes, lots of parking. However it is through the park so they close around 8-9 at night plus there’s a $6-7 fee. 4E619200-1E9C-46E9-ACD3-131A72990A80.jpeg

Congrats on the AR230! I have an ‘07 so if you have any specific questions, let me know since they are practically the same boat.
