Used Boat Lift

Looking at a used 7000lb Shorestation Boat Lift. The lift is in good shape and is 8 years old. Comes with 28ft canopy, just right for our boat. Dealer wants $16000. Debating idea of going used or just bite the bullet and go new. New lift with canopy runs around $27000. Looking for opinions.

2021 R5 fuel gauge

Re: Looking to buy R5-6-7. Opinions?

We bought a 2021 R5 with a the Merc 350 hp engine back in August from the dealer you saw the R7 at. Had about 100 hours on it and been kept in a boat house during the season. Wasn't really looking at upgrading (from a Crownline E22) at the time but it popped up in late July and couldn't resist. It ...

Trailer tires

Trailer I picked up last fall has power king tow max tires with date code of 2020. Previous owner only used trailer to move back and forth for winter storage. No other trailering so tires look brand new. We trailer a lot so I'm thinking about upgrading tires. Any thoughts about this?

Agreed on a May 1 pick up. Called the service manager 2 months ago to check and he said all set for ...

Re: Anyone move from a R3 to R4 or R5 to R6?

I was in the same boat. Had a crownline e22. A 2021 R5 with low hours and good options showed up at the local dealer in July. Gave me good trade in and was willing to deal on price. Got him to kick in warm storage and winterization. We like the e22 but the R5 is a major step up. It's our forever ...
