    Great dealer experience, MD Boats!

    Well my multi-month search for a boat is over. We went down to Indy to see a 2000 SN yesterday. Mark and Mark were super nice guys who knew their stuff and were happy to have us there. We felt very secure in our purchase knowing the boat was originally sold there and serviced there. We even got to test drive the boat, despite the fact that it is January. We never felt unwelcome or uncomfortable (even when my dad accidentally locked us out of the tow vehicle, while running, at the ramp- prompting Mark to call his wife with the extra keys!).The boat is tight, and dialed in. Runs like a swiss watch. I don't think I've ever ridden in an inboard with less vibration that that rig. We were able to verify maintenance records and even discovered the boat had less hours than originally thought. These guys run a top notch shop and have a real passion for the sport. Thank you so much MD Boats!

    Congratulations on your purchase. It'll only be a few more months until you'll be enjoying it!

      I've purchased my last two boats from Mark & Mark and have been extremely happy as well. Glad it went well and enjoy your SN!!

            Thats a great looking boat. If not for the trailer, I think I would be checking the pole barn to make sure mine is still up there. I am sure you will love yours as much as I do mine. Congrats

              M3, glad to hear that your seach is over, what an exciting time!!! I bet the weather was probably pretty nice for your test drive, I know here in southern MI the temps have been great during the month of Jan.
              Congrats on a great looking boat!

                I'm pretty sure M3Fan's boat is black, but all the Masters colored boats look great!

                I didnt realize that they offered the '99 graphics on many '00 boats- I wonder if these were considered anniversary additions?

                  Apparently they only offered it in the first half of the 00 year, and that was it. What's really cool is the pinstriping and letters are gold flaked.

                          I've had multiple great experiences with MD also. The only real problem is buying a boat in Jan. and having to wait. I bought mine in Feb.....makes a long wait until the thaw. But, its worth it.

                            Thaw..."Scmaw"! There isn't any ice on the water here in southeast Indiana! Although I suppose a drysuit would be a great idea.

                              I just need a drysuit and a driver (the wife refuses to drive after out last day in November)....and since I'm a wimp, at least a 50+ air temp.

                              efox - I went snow skiing down in your area over xmas and drove by your lake on the way home. Pretty nice lake, but there seems to be like 5000 houses around it, does it get incredibly busy?
