NEW RIDE

After many years of bumming rides from friends I was finally able to pull the trigger on my own boat. :banana:
Yesterday I picked up '97 253 with a 502 under the hatch. It has Stainless Marine manifolds with Imco mufflers, Latham steering assist and a few other goodies. I was happy I was able to find one with a faring and the tubular platform that I love the looks of. Boat needs a small amount of cleanup but is very good condition overall.

Congrats Buddy! Amout dang time! That is a beautiful 253 with some real nice rigging! Turn key for sure. Cant wait to go boatin with you now!
 
I'm excited to see you get the vessel that you wanted. Sure looks nice, kinda like it's been in a garage the whole time when not being used. I bet someone was sad to see it go. I shall raise a toast to the East in your Honor.
