Thanks for the add!

I'm super-pumped to get out on our new-to-us 2006 343. Picked it up late last fall with only enough time to get it in the dock & on the lift before winterizing. Heading down this weekend to break it out of hibernation.

Welcome from KY! Beautiful boat...I've had the opportunity to ride in one before and she's a beast! You just made all the boys drool around here with the blue twins in there! Where are you going to be doing all your boating?

Welcome From California Holy.. ! Yeah Twin Blues.!

Ive always Loved the 343!, I think the Hard top is awesome looking and it will be nice getting to the bow . Looking to hear how you enjoy opposed lounge seating as it seems that would be great for hanging out.

Looking forward to more pics and hearing the Performance report!!

Welcome from Oklahoma! I think I recognize that boat? Did you get it from OKC? If so you bought it from a buddy of mine. Beautiful boat!

Would be a logical guess....that boat would cut through the chop like butter.

Welcome aboard Smokes! Congrats on the purchase and finally getting her out. Shes a beaut.

Welcome Smokes ...
Beautiful boat!!!
Where are you running her?

Saw a beautiful red 343 just like yours a few times around the Grand Glaize Bridge at LOTO this weekend ...

Was that you by chance ?
