Negotiable
Shopping around is always a fair and reasonable thing to do. And I strongly believe that a thing (boat, car, tv, washer and dryer) is only worth what you are willing to pay for it. If you like the...

Congrat
Congrats, the 216LS is a great boat.
Get the 5500i (internal antenna). The internal antenna works fine on the lake, it's what I had all summer and will install in my new boat in the spring. ...

This has proved itself to be immeasureably true! Thanks Dave!!!

Have to agree with Dave on this one. My boat came with a "coast guard kit" of fenders, lines, anchor, vests, flares, etc... ...

Follow up
Just to follow up, I did give a deposit to Parker and locked in a slip for next summer. Still a little nervous about the bridge clearance, hopefully we don't get another drenching this spring...

Good choice
Bryant makes a great boat, they have a very loyal following. I looked at the 200 when I was looking. Only think I don't like about the 206 was the funky rear bench seat shape...
I would still...

Yes and no
Aqua,
Check out Bizer's GPS page. They do sell a waypoint file, and they do have graphic images of the lake available, and a chart kit for maptech software...
Using those, you might be able to...

I spent the whole year up on Winni in a 20'er. I both agree and disagree with secondcurve. I intentionally went for a 20 because I wanted something easy to tow and easy to manuver. There were...

I haven't called Channel yet, but would have if it got to that point. I almost bought a Crownline, and it did seem like a nice operation.
I'm going to call Parker this morning and try and reserve...

Thanks
Dave,
Thanks. I'd be very proud to stand on the deck of Mischief Managed. Yours is one of the coolest looking boats (and one of the best names) on the lake, IMHO. As I recall, we had planned to...

Thanks for the endorsement!
Seems like a great place to have a slip, and the price is pretty reasonable. I think I'd be pretty upset if I couldn't get my boat out for 2 weeks though...

Hi guys,
Thanks so much for the help. Here's the rundown thus far.
Y-Landing can't handle the boat and don't have any space anyway.
Meredith said no on followup, new policy, so sorry.

I'll add Glendale and Parker to the list.
I'd have to drop the bimini top, but I think I could get under 5'.

But you will never be without, once you have it. Trust me.
