Default Pulled the Trigger Today on New Boat

Finalized the deal with Tropical Marine today on a 2004 Sea Pro 206CC with Honda BF150 4-Stroke. Boat has T-Top, Leaning Post, Bennett Trim Tabs, Bow Cushion, Cockpit Bolsters, Dual Batteries, Half-Swim Platform, & Aluminum Trailer. Out the door price with TT&L $30585.62! Will pick it up on either this Thursday or Friday depending on when the dealer gets the cushions from Sea Pro. I would like to thank everyone on this forum for their input and advice over the last couple of years and thanks to Tom from Bennett Marine with helping out with the trim tabs selection and installation. SM

CONGRATS on the boat - know you must be REAL excited!!!!!!!!

I was at Ed's Marine Saturday and was looking at that same boat - VERY nice and a DEEP hull on that thing! And you KNOW Tom is gonna' take care of you for choosing Bennett's!

Do NOT let "cushion delivery" keep you away from the water this weekend!!!!!!! Now, if the MOTOR isn't on it, let 'em keep it a little longer!

PICS, PICS!

Well looks like it will be Friday before I can pick up the boat. The extra tubing from Bennett has not come in yet and neither have the cushions. I am picking up the boat on Friday reqardless. I will post some pictures as soon as I get back. Can't get the electronics installed until Monday, so no speed or other info until that gets done. But the boat should be ready by Friday and I am going to put as many hours on it this weekend so I can do the 20hr. oil change and get that puppy offshore after some snapper and chase some shrimp boats for tuna.

I have had my Sea Pro 238 for about 6 months and I love it.

I have had my boat in some bad water and it has done great.

Back jump seat came unstiched, fresh water wash down pump went bad. Sea Pro jumped on both rifgt away.

Congrats on the new rig.

SurfMeister, good luck with your new boat. Take care of it and it will take care of you. My younger brother just bought a used Sea Pro 210cc with a 200hp Johnson. He took it out for the frist time Sat. and he loves it. It's fast.
