I bought this 21.5 ft boat “The Americana” and trailer on-line via POP-Yachts. They were great.

The process was straight forward, see pictures and boat specs, make a bid. Once accepted, a formal marine survey was performed by an independent expert. Then using an escrow account money was deposited and then closing. 

The boat arrived from Florida just as I hoped, in perfect condition. I used Interstate Haulers to haul my boat north. Also great! The driver gave progress reports as the boat was driven north. 

I inspected my new boat, and compared identical with the dozens of photos on pop-yachts website. I was so pleased.

The gas tank is 80 gallons and at 5 bucks a gallon that’s an expensive fill-up.

Having registered the boat and trailer, my wife and I took the boat out.  She purred like a kitten when I turned the ignition key and the Evinrude 250 hp performed very well at speeds just under 50 mph and at trolling speeds. Going out again to fish with my son in a few days. 

More soon…
