Done deal - I'm an owner!

...of a 1999 Beneteau Oceanis 311. Will be sailing mostly on Lake Erie out of Buffalo, NY. Searched for about 5 weeks to find the right boat in the right condition for the right price (that my wife would like - not an easy task). Now I just need spring!

Way to go! I am guessing she is high and dry right now? Have fun.

well done as another Beneteau owner, you will find that you will be passing other boats that have better ratings.

My wife and I bought our first boat a couple of months ago and we will be sailing out of Buffalo as well. Maybe I'll see you around.

Great stuff - savour the next few weeks until you launch - it may well be the last time of your life that you have disposable income

Congratulations and enjoy !

Thanks everyone...first launch will take me from Youngstown on Lake Ontario to Lake Erie via the Welland Canal. Should be a fun all day trip.

timangiel, I'll be the one swallowing my ears with my grin
