Boaters? - Wohooo New (to me) boat

Hey all, just wondered if we had some boaters out there, I can only assume so!

Well we sold our last boat 4 yrs ago and regretted it, have been waiting for the right time & perfect boat to replace. With last years lock down, the idea of staying/boating locally (New Hampshire) along with the surplus cash from no family vacations, allowed us to get back in! We're so excited to hit the lake this season on this beauty, literally the only boat that has me snapping my neck to look at as they pass.

New to us, 2012 Chris Craft Launch 25 (27LOA), Boat garage kept its whole life, 200 hrs, Heritage spec, absolutely mint.







Would love to see some other boaters out there!

Two happiest days in man's life...

Congrats, it is a sweet boat! I just hang with my friends who have boats, much cheaper that way!

I'll be content with a small boat for now. It is enough for me for infrequent trips to Ladoga Lake for fishing.
Its annual maintenance tends to zero - very convenient ))

Nice boats! I got my boating license last year, have worked on several boat engines for friends, but don't own one (yet). I'm starting to find the best idea is have several friends with boats that I exchange borrowing them for the maintenance work I perform.

She looks real clean, Op, enjoy.

Vista, I too like a small boat and the layout of your looks great. What is she?

Congratulations! Beautiful boat. Where did you find it? Dealer? Craigslist? Facebook mkt? Neighbor?

I have been a boater since I was knee high to a grasshopper.

Bust out another thousand...
A hole in the water into which one throws money...
Two happiest days of a man's life...
Alot of fun!

Cheers all, fantastic to see other boats..........if you're floatin', you're boatin'!!!!!

Big step up from a 15yr old Chaparral, but so worth it, the fun, the family memories, the stress release......has a beer cooler! LOL

Yeah saw her on Boattrader.com at a local marina, which to be honest we needed, as slips/berths on the Lake are non-existent! literally the only way to guarantee yourself a slip is to buy through a lake dealer. Thankfully this boat ticked all the boxes.

Cheers for all the comments

Boat equals one of the Three F's, If it Fly's, Float's, or F @#$'s it cheaper to rent then buy.

That being said if you have a house on say a lake it would be nice.

Beautiful, and a Chris Craft, love it. Mine doesn't quite compare, but it suits my needs and the lakes around me - 06 Sea Ray 185 Sport. Thought about upgrading this year, but choices are limited and prices are through the roof around here.

Hoping I can convince my husband to sell after this summer. We've had lots of fun over the years in power boats. I love the sound of the engines and the whipples when you hit the throttles. Something about loud engines and horsepower make me happy.

We've been riding more with our friends in their 33 formula and I like having the shade option and we can all be on one boat hanging out. That's his boat next to ours.
