After several months of looking for the RIGHT boat, my wife and I finally pulled the trigger on one the other day, and I'm very stoked about what we got - a 2002 SAN. It's in super clean condition and we can't wait to get it on the water.
Thanks to all of you who encouraged me to stick to my guns and wait for a V-drive to come on the market...and a VERY big thanks to Bill & Jim at Topside Marine in San Jose for all the additional guidance and boat knowledge. I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
