First time boat purchase - Sea Ray Sundeck 240 ??

Just helped a friend buy an 08 of that boat from Meredith Marina back in May. So far he is extremely happy about it. His only two complaints are that it doesn't handle the chop as well as he wanted (but he is used to my Crownline 240LS which has a deep V) and he thought that with 250hp it was a little underpowered for tubing & waterskiing with the kids. I thought for a deck boat it did great in the chop but I agree about it being a bit underpowered. Very happy overall though and would probably do the same again although holding out for a bigger engine.

For what its worth Meredith Marina was by far the best experience I have had with a marina on Winni. I've worked with Sheps & Channel and the customer service at Meredith blows them both away.

Good Luck!!
