I'm in Exeter, NH down on the coast, but I keep the boat in Lake Winnipesaukee (an hour away) the boat has never been in salt water. Due to our lake's crazy regulations I've had to remove the shower/porta-potty and installed a marine head with a holding tank and pump out.

I'd deliver the boat just for traveling expenses.

BTW: I tow it with a F150 HD and love the way it handles. I also tow a 34' travel trailer as well. You can't use a WD hitch it because it has surge/disk brakes and the coupler has to move. Also the weight is well balance with the motor in the rear. Tracker did a real good job designing the boat/trailer package. My problem is not with the boat, but that I'm very unstable on a moving deck and fall a lot.

That's a bit of a distance from Ontario. According to Google Maps it's over nine hours away. And since my DH does not have his paperwork to cross the boarder I don't think it would work, but thanks anyways. Sorry your heath has caused you to sell the boat. [flowers]

You got the right pictures, same year and model.

I sold my last boat to (the 38' sailboat) a year ago to a fellow in Montreal and had no problems.

Think it over, it's a great boat and a great deal.

Maybe we could trade straight up. A slightly (and I mean slightly) used 2010 KZ Spree 310RLS for a 2006 Sun Tracker PC 32

Sounds like a good idea to me :)

I'd do it if I didn't already have a 2010 Keystone Sprinter 297RET. Looks like the same trailer...

We had a 2009 Keystone Springdale 279RBSS. Horrible trailer. We had so many problems that the dealer took it back and we got the Spree.

Oh gosh - that plan would have worked perfectly.

we bought our boat first, admittidly its not a camp type set up, and then the next year bought a camper to use along with it at the lake during the summer. just a thought if you could swing it.
