Philly area, need some input for my first boat.

That's a good starter boat but you won't outgrow it for a while. It is big enough that you can use it on almost any water in this area. And, Sea Ray is an upscale hull. No cheap fittings etc. Have fun this coming season.

I see that the trailer has brakes. Let Peters Marine give you a tutorial because there is a lock-out for backing. Otherwise the brakes engage and you can't back properly.

Nice buy. Congratulations! Spring just moved about a lifetime in the wrong direction for ya' though

Towed her back in the house a while ago, but too crazy at work, didn't have time to post any update.
Anyways, I completed the boat safety class, and one of the instructor did the vessel safety check and stickered for me as well.
I probably will take her out to Beltzville this Monday.

Here are few photos of her ……on my driveway.

Nice looking rig! Enjoy and have fun!

If you're in MontCo., consider the Trenton Area (Bristol on the PA side), there are a few marinas in the area and you're in the upper area of the navigable portions of the Delaware (read: it's not nearly as busy as it gets as you go further south). We're an hour over water to Philly, and get out whenever we can.
We've slipped in D&S Marina in Tullytown. The pricing is reasonable, and they've been great with any services I've needed.
