Want to thank all for the great info on this site and others like it.I looked from grady to pursuit to albemarle to carolina classic.All of these boats are top of the line but each one has characteristics that suit different needs.For Me the 305 express fit the bill.I spent quite a bit of time researching and checking out these boats.The reason I wanted to post this is to give some positive feedback where it is due.I have seen some negative things,some on this site some on others about dealers and motors.Some of the dealers I dealt with are Spellmans,port of Egypt,Strongs and Al Grovers.I must say all four are very helpful, honest and not one tried to push Me into buying but rather told Me more to make sure I was getting into the right boat.I would highly recommend any one of these dealers. The other is this post about the Yamaha corrosive exhaust plate.I talked to a couple of mechanics and none found it to be even close to the epidemic it is claimed to be.Once again thanks for all the info and feedback from this site and please just remember be careful before bashing these reputable companies.Happy and safe boating and hope to see some of you out there[/list]

Hey you got yourself a great boat. I have the exact same year, model and horsepower. Bought mine new in July 07 and love the boat. Ever have any questions about it give me a shout. I rigged all the electronics, autopilot, inverter, additional house batteries, Webasto Heater and trolling motor on mine.
So I've had every compartment open and crawled around inside it more than once.
The boat is used but VERY clean Has about 280 hours Cant wait for the winter to end .Im like a kid on Christmas!!!!
Did you end up getting the one at Port of Egypt?
My last trip out that way I saw a nice one on the lot!

No I am getting it from strongs.I stopped by P O E that one was very nice also and loaded so was priced higher. The one I am getting has less options and put it closer to My budget(which still went over).
I looked at the one at Strong's. Beautiful boat, I am sure you are going to love it. I know how you feel, I have my new (to me) 33 coming from Michigan in 2 weeks. I am going nuts waiting. It's better than any christmas yet, except for maybe the one where I got my Schwinn Stingray

Sounds like a good 2010 ahead for you!
How early will you push the season? In you guy's area, when's the soonest you splash and go?

The season can start off in march for flounder. Im going to pick it up late April early May to get into the striper action and hopefully get into some fluke. I
