Hi All,
Just purchased a 2008 252 (pics attached) I was in the market for a nice family day boat big enough to hold two families. Went and looked at a chaparral, searay sundeck and a Yamaha 242 jet boat. I took this out for a sea trial with the broker yesterday and was so impressed with the quality and craftsmanship of this boat I sealed the deal even though it didn't come with a trailer like I need for family vacations. She's powered by a brand new Volvo penta 8.1 with less than 5 hours. I'm sure I'll be browsing this site all day for tips/hacks on how to care for her. Feel free to post any below. Thanks again for this forum much appreciated from a first time boat owner!!
