Hello Classic Aquasport members;I just boat my first boat on Tuesday and I'm pleased to say it's a gently used 2004 Aquasport 225 Explorer. She's equipped with a 200hpdi Yamaha. My family is thrilled with the purchase (three of my four kids wanted to campout in the cabin last night), and my buddies can't wait to go fishing on it.Many thanks to seabob4 who gave me some great advice during my decision process, and a real education from his many posts.....he's a great resource....Thanks again, Bob!As it's a little late in the season I'm not sure I'll get much use out of it this year, but I can't wait for next spring. I'll be looking for a slip or mooring for next year, so if anyone out there has any suggestions please let me know. I live in Huntington, LI (North Shore), but also considering options on the South Shore. I'd love to hear feedback about this models handling and performance from those of you who are familiar. Although I'm not totally inexperienced handling a boat, it's been 15 years, and the last was a 19' Bayliner. So any advice would be greatly appreciated. I would have asked this prior to purchasing, but my first registration on this site was never activated. Found Bob from my Hull Truth post.I'm confident that I bought a great boat, now I've got to learn how to be a great boater!Best regards,“Four Keepers”
Bob,Is that a "Ram" Ficht I see on that Explorer? And let me tell you, those folding jump seats in the aft corners were a PITA!Bob C
