Not new to boating been doing it for at least 40 some years. Currently own 2005 254 Suinesta, and a placed an order for a 2021 287 SSX due in May 2021 (wife said "go for it you can't take it with you" at 73 I must be crazy) lol. Bought the 254 off a guy in Alabama for $1.00 more than he own'ed on it (getting divorced.) LOL 2005 Bass Tracker with 115hp jet drive out board, only need 6" of water under her, (my forever boat).
