My friend and I will be in Florida in a few weeks. We may be on the market to by a nice boat. (We live in Iowa; not alot of dealer around here) If anyone knows of a nice dealer, please let me know. Thanks.

I am not a dealer but I have a nice boat for sale. And I like to think I'm a nice guy.

My wife and I recently had an awesome experience at South East Correct Craft in Orlando. True pleasure to do business with.

South East Correct Craft (Orlando-Correct Craft), Ski Boat Solutions (Ocala-Malibu), and Land O Lakes Marine (Tampa-Malibu/Moomba). These dealers all have used boats of different manufacturers as well.

WHERE IN FLORIDA?

Greg, did you buy a new boat yet?

David, I picked up a 2000 Super Air last week from South East Correct Craft. My '82 is for sale and excited for a new home.

Your stoked. You shouldn't have a problem selling the 2001.
I didn't see a 2000 SAN on their website - been checking periodically.
How many hours and what'd you pay - if you don't mind me asking - ?

I can't wait for the water to get a little warmer.

And a new trailer...Heck yeah. What kind of rate did you get?

Should be high 70's tomorrow at least where I'm at in North Orlando.
Next time we hit up the Silver Glen in Astor I'll let you know. We ride the river in the AM and party at the Glen in the PM and usually have a good size group.
Let me know if you come down for the PWT in late April and I'll hook you up with a pull.

David, that's awesome thanks for the invite. If you are ever in the mood for a change you should come up and check out Lake Sante Fe and Black Creek. My folks have a 24 foot Pontoon so it is fun to party and ride from it. The rate is 5.75, but I am going to try and pay it off in 5 yrs not 12.

Made a real good deal with Henrik from SkiNautique Miami! Great support and service. Good advice, etc. Is the third CC-dealer we dealed with. First one was good (Germany), second was bad, tried to ripp us off (Netherlands). The best this far is SkiNautique!!

Do not go to Land O Lakes Marine. I know a bunch of people, including myself, that have had nightmare experiences with them. I have honestly never not heard one good word about the place. I lived 2 minutes from the shop & drove my boat all the way to Orlando just to have it serviced so I wouldn't have to deal with LOL Marine. I do recommend Central Florida Boating Center in Orlando if you are looking for a Mailbu. They were great with me.

lucky 02-20-2004, 12:50 PM

Wow, Wakegirly... Used your first post to bash LOL, must of been a bad experieince.

wakegirly 02-20-2004, 1:02 PM

Greg...bad is an understatement! I will be the first to praise people who do a great job & if someone makes my experiences with them horrible I will also let people know. I wish someone would have given me the heads up before I found out the hard way.

greg we are camping at black creek next weekend. so far it looks like 6 boats. you should come out.

also, I recommend ski boat solutions in ocala. while i have only gone there for service (good service), I know several people who have bought boats there. notice i say boats, meaning they keep going back for more

Hey Greg, is your boat a V-drive?

Also check out Bay Area Watersports in Land O Lakes, they're the new Mastercraft Dealer for SW Florida.
