Congrats in advance on your new lake adventure from the 20!

Nice boat and congrats! I'm in Wildwood, boat is at our LOTO place. We wound up with a great 282, the second one I tried to buy...

As a relatively new captain prior to taking off and telling everyone to stay seated while underway and where the life jackets are I say "The toilet is broken so don't even think about pooping on the boat." (It's not but we have never used it and don't plan to start) Good thing this lake is...

Nice 282 - Congrats!

Thanks BB - I'm almost at the point of ditching them because they are more often a PITA than they are worth. That is until it's like 90+ and I am coving out on the lake counting heads, only one sober in the group not in the water.

50 Views? Anyone?......Bueller?

That looks pretty tasty....Myself and Rabiddawg will be over momentarily. Mind if we smoke?

Hi Gang - I have the cockpit and aft bimini tops along with two of canvas pieces that I'm assuming are for rolling up and storing the canvas tops on the arch. Would like to be able to store these on the arch whenever I want to run faster that 25ish and/or there's any good wind. I've already had to r...

Fortunate to have a great cigar shop close to my house that carries a good selection and the lady that owns it turned me on to the Oscar cigars a little while ago - great smoke and have not had a bad one yet. Like nothing more than sitting out on the deck after a day on the water enjoying one of the...

Bourbon is by far my favorite, Eagle Rare being #1 on the list. Drink Knob Creek regularly, good mid-priced Bourbon, might be too oaky for some. Favorite whisky by far though is Pike Creek. It's a Canadian aged in port wine barrels - probably the smoothest i've ever sipped. As far as cigars I always...

Nice boat Sir - See you on the lake! 20mm... we're probably about a mile apart. I can see our closest boat dealer and gas dock from my front door, guessing you are just west of me. I'm always coming around the corner to head east to the state park. That's where we hang out, go way back in one of th...

Nice boat Sir - See you on the lake!

I absolutely love our 302! Perfect layout for what we use it for, handles LOTO pretty well (which is insanely rough), the 22* deadrise helps big time. My 330ss had 21* and hull slapped really bad. Love the side transom walk through, super easy for the family. If you can swing it, go bigger. I wish ...

Keep in mind with the R6 on the lift, those bunks won't be near that high. Caution----- I'd have a lift company check your hull measurements against the lift bunks. Looks like its setup for a back in. They look awfully far apart to keep the keel from hitting the cross members. This - that was the f...

My first boat is the 282 I bought last year. Kind of a beast with a single engine so it is a handful with any wind / current. If I learned anything the most valuable piece of advice is take it slow - as someone mentioned not any faster than you would want to hit the dock. Don't be afraid to back out...
