    I went down to New Ross today with herself for a look around and then drove over to Waterford.......of all the boats I've seen I still really like the look of the Bayliner 2455.......and as regards a location I think I would prefer Waterford, even though it's dearer.

    The sealine 240s might also be worth a look, they are a bit higher spec than the bayliners and hold their money well.http://www.apolloduck.ie/feature.phtml?id=369277

    That's a beauty Fergal, thanks for finding it……..it'll be a while before I free up the cash so I'm sure it will be sold…….that's EXACTLY what I'm looking for though….. :-/

    Just another stupid question lads…….you know if you brought a car in from the UK you have to pay VRT…..are there any charges on bringing in a boat? Sorry for the stupidity……

    It's been a while since I posted in here asking for advice, I've taken it all on board, and I've PM'd Fergal a few times asking advice too.......so out of decency I said I'd give you all an update......

    I am now the proud owner of a Sea Ray 240!!!

    (I hope it's not washed away in those floods!)

    You can look forward to lots of stupid posts in the future! :)

    Hello again.....I finally took ownership of my boat today (in atrocious weather).....she's a Sea Ray Sundancer 240. We put her on the trailer last week to have a look underneath her, it looks in good shape.

    Here's a few pics of her.....see what ye think. Many thanks to all the people who posted helpful comments for me.

    If you hear a "Pan Pan" around the South East it's probably me. 😜

    She looks nice best of luck with her.One thing I will say it doesn't look like the trailer is braked so it may not be road legal and a boat like this would have no problem pushing the back of a 4x4 sideways when breaking or going down hill so be careful.
