First time boat owner here

[wilksCraft]

hey folks....just bought our first boat...'93 Chris Craft Crowne (342)...5.8L King Cobra's...King Daddy drives (yeah I'm readin about those)....good shape...was sitting for 2 years in the water (LOTO)...needed some maintenance (port bellows,gear shift cables, usual tune up stuff)....seems to be a good boat so far...got a great price so can afford to put some back into it. Looking forward to spendin some great family time on her next season....glad to be here too.

Heck of a nice first boat. My first boat was a Sea King, and it was very well used!!

Impressive first boat! Congrats! Yeah, I like that sort of thing also ...

Welcome to the insane asylum called boating! It will relieve all stress, while stressing you out at the same time!

5.8L King Cobra's...King Daddy drives (yeah I'm readin about those)

You may actually be lucky that the drive you have is actually a dog clutch drive...well, at least as lucky as you can get with an OMC drive!

Nice looking ride. 34'er as a frst boat is pretty ballsy, but you'll catch on. Go slow while you do.

Best of luck!

If you can figure out how to post pictures in this forum so well then you should have little trouble with the vessel. Welcome and good luck!!
