    I'm in...

    Ok, boys I know you are dying to have an end to this winter-long drama...Pulled the trigger today..I'm in, got the 2008 200XL. Thanks to all the guys who gave advice and sent IM's.
    Gotta say this about the dealer: Richie Thayer at Thayers Marine (a board sponsor) was awesome to deal with. A straight shooter, he worked hard to get my business. As in any deal, there was some back and forth, give and take. Bottom line, the guy worked hard, was resourceful, and put a deal together. I would recommend Thayers Marine to anyone. Special thanks to the New England guys for their insight. I am getting the jackplate and nhbass has a 50 mph speed limit until further notice!!! Here's a couple pics in case you haven't seen it:

    Jim, sweet boat. You are gonna love it. It FLIES. With the Winni speed limit being potentially lifted, you might be able to open her up

    Nice rig. It reminds me a lot of mine....if mine were bigger, nicer, newer, and had a much more powerful motor! Enjoy!

    Way to go I knew it could get done. I second what was said regarding Richie, very good to work with and he is VERY persistent, he will make you happy you bought from him, and isn't that the most important thing nowadays? Great job .Finally some new Stratos blood in the Northeast
