Check out Light Stream for financing. Was a very good loan and experience for us. Mike

Going to 'see' our first potential purchase next week. Wondering if anyone over in the Cape Coral area know about SONATA - aside from a bow thruster she has everything we're looking for.

Nice looking boat and a lot of boat for $99K. Good luck, hope you find it to your liking and all is well with the boat.

Thanks Rick, we're hoping the fact that she's been part of a charter fleet for a while will mean she's been well maintained and probably have a full set of documentation, owners manual and maintenance logs.

Fingers crossed.

Getting excited, in a reserved way.

I know that feeling. Best of luck that all goes well. Like I said earlier that is a lot of boat.

Hope all goes well wit the survey. With the diesels, I believe that is a pretty good price.
Keep us posted.

There are those who might say, there are those who are Carver owners and there are those who will be Carver owners. I am not sure I ever saw myself as a Carver owner but here I am.

Good luck with your choice. Try LightStream for financing your purchase. Its an online application, be prepared to back up with proof what you put on the application. We did it and got a 3 years loan for 2.99%. Filed the application on Sunday and had the loan money in my account by Wednesday. If your approved that's it. No lean on title, or additional insured on insurance policy. You have to buy what you applied for and sent up an monthly auto payment from your account. It was the first time we ever tried something like this, always went to the bank, got jerked around for 2 weeks filed tons of paperwork. Never again! Mike
