First Ride 270 BR

Dat mid cabin!! Nice boat. I see your not far from me. I'm going to try to get some people together this summer for a run on the allegheny river in east Brady. Keep it in mind if your interested.
 
OK sounds good Brian, we may just do that. We are located just south of wheeling WVa. We boat between the Pike Island lock and dam, and the Hannibal lock and dam, occasionally locking through to the north, very decent bar and restaurant in Wellsburg WVa.

It had been for sale for a while, in fact I almost bought it late last year. and thought I would just gamble and hope he listed it again which he did in December, so I waited until February, and then made the deal when some other perspective buyers seemed to be seriously looking for a 270 BR. The owner moved from NY to NC; we went to Wilmington NC to get it, but the seller lives in Raleigh. My wife and I decided the deeper boat with more room and the mid cabin which does allow a place to change and get out of the weather for passengers would be nice. And when you add our daughter, son-in-law and their two daughters it just seemed to make sense. Although like buying another car, you just do it because you want to!! Anyway hope to see you at the rally!!

And the ribs were excellent.
