    Ever buy a boat to big for your garage.

    Our old carport fit our first boat just fine. We knew our second boat would be 6 inches too tall to fit the carport, so we had it replaced with a new carport that was 2 feet taller. The Karens in the neighborhood went insane, even though there is no HOA. Ended up making enemies for life.

    Wandering heading at slow speed

    Ours still wanders, but a lot less than our last boat which had a 1986 OMC stringer mount, which even did it when new.

    is Nada boat valuation acurate?

    What percentage of the overall price is the $3000 difference ? If it is small and you really like/want the boat, just purchase it.

    23-24 foot vs 26-28 foot pros and cons?

    When we purchased our boat we wanted something around 22-23 feet long with a real head in it. After a year of looking the shortest we could find was 26 feet. Had to get a bigger tow vehicle and had to raise our carport so it would fit. Previously we had a 1/2 ton truck and an 18' Seaswirl Cuddy...

    I can relate to this!

    I had an old junk tool box filled with over 200 pounds of nuts and bolts off of 64-70 Ford Mustangs. Figured it was safe on my back porch, but someone carried it all off about 30 years ago.

    Cushions

    If you ask Chaparral, they will tell you to contact your dealer. Your dealer will tell you that they can't get anything for a boat more than a year old.

    2004 21 Seaswirl Striper

    As already mentioned, that is underpowered. If the boat is otherwise in good condition, and at a good price, you could always sell the outboard if it is too small for you.

    Prop for hole shot water skiing

    A thing I saw a lot when I had a similar boat was the skier was trying to pull themselves up. They need to stay scrunched up with the tail of the ski directly under their butt and wait for the ski to pop them up. I have seen several big and strong people prevent my boat from reaching planning...
