New boat on the way
Submitted by johnno67 on Sun, 2012-02-19 15:02
Just purchased a 225 centre console key west with a suzuki 225hp 2010 from the US. Boat leaves US next week fully load with heaps extras 17 rod holder garmin sounder gps and radar electric canon outriggers will take approx 5 weeks so can't wait. But this does mean the 2010 coral runner stacer will be for sale after it's last Gnaraloo trip in May. Will post some photos when it gets here.

All done
Yes paid the money and had a twelve page inspection done on the boat including sea trial had the motor downloaded to check engine hours came up trumps 111 hours all electrics are fine as they are not shore power and have already got the card for the garmin for aus.double check all the trailer measurements by the surveyor and it comes under the 2.5 meter width so thats all good They did a valuation on the boat for me on today's market and valued it at 6k more than I paid for it I found the boat and used a guy here in Perth to import it and organize all the inspections and sea trials.hey Russ I'm the guy that bought you power dive
