Been a bit, but I think I've finally made a decision on where I want to be with my next boat, at least for the time being. A little runabout to have some fun on the bay. Let's take a look at a 2000 Crownline 180BR.
Good to have you back! We were actually rewatching your series from buying The Whale and wondered if we we would see you again 😉 Anyways, best of luck with the search. But keep in mind that summer and boating season dont last forever, so get a nove on. . . And you should've bought the Sea Ray 🤣
Thanks Paul! Good to be back...hopefully get back in to a regular schedule with vids again. Also hoping this one works out, and I'll be on the water soon! That Sea Ray was a nice boat...just comes down to being a bit too much boat for what I want right now. We'll see how things go with a fun little runabout for a while!
Great to see you again, and glad you are doing well! Miss your videos, keep ‘em coming! I have a 32 Sea Ray Sundancer across the lake from you in Holland, MI and love your videos!
Our first boat was a 2010 Crownline 180 - great boat. Plenty of power with the 4.3L / Alpha One. Check out the Mercury High Five prop if you do - helped with hole shot, and the boat planed at a much lower speed too and really cornered well.
Hey Chad, nice to hear from you again! Looks like a nice rig! I had the same motor/drive combo on my last boat and worked very well. Honestly, if it's going to be you and 2 or 3 others, I think you will really like this boat. I can tell you; I went from a Sea Ray 200BR to a Sea Ray 220 Sundeck. Basically another 3 feet and an additional #2000lbs. Might not seem like much but it is a way bigger commitment, more than I thought. We have had it for 1 season now. The advantage, great in bigger water and I can take 10 people (my family) relatively easily. Best feature, walk through transom and swim platform. Disadvantage... heavy, uses more fuel and would difficult to launch on my own (never tried yet). Heading up your way July 4th. Maybe we'll see ya on the water, Cheers!
It is interesting how much difference there is between a few feet! Would be great to run in to you over the 4th up here! Have a good one, and maybe see ya soon! Cheers!
