We bought our first boat today!!

[Taylor31]

After our disappontimg experience with the survey results of the 89 Carver this weekend, we found our boat!

Today we went to test a 1994 Sea Ray 270 that had a survey done already in May by a very reputable guy here in southern Ontario and we bought it. There were a couple of very minor issues that the seller will be taking care of before we get it on the 23rd but it is a very well cared for and solid boat.

We are very excited and can't wait to get on the water!

Nice boat.

And yes, its amazing how far boat builders came in styling from my 1981.

Re: We bought our first boat today!!

haha rbh...just a few! We looked at an 87 which would have been similar to yours. Great boat and more room than the 94 has (wider beam) but the one we looked at had no bimini or camper tops which we can't live without.

Couldn't be happier that we walked away from that Carver

Can't wait to get her in the water...the 23rd is going to be a LONG wait!
