Meat,
Where in Mass. are you located? I drove from the North Shore via the ferry in New London, CT to Strongs Marine in Long Island, NY for my current boat. They have some great deals on year before models that they use as day rentals.
www.stongsmarine.com Including ferry time it only took about five hours each way. If you are close to closing a deal on the Hydra-Sport and it's from a dealer that's close by that you know has great service and the price is right, I don't think that you can go wrong. Hydra-Sport was on my short list. I went to Tropicland with my family and was very serious about buying. I couldn't get anyone to help me. They were all to busy chatting with their friends. I actually went down there twice.

I also spoke with Arnold Green in NH. He seemed like a great guy and I've heard that they have great service, but Strong's had the better deal for me.
