    New Boating Life!!

    Hi, my newlywed wife and I just purchased our first boat.  We have been avid boaters throughout both of our short lives (We are both 24).  We just purchased a 2002 Crownline 266 BR Limited Edition LPX with the 496 HO, bravo 3-X drive, captains call exhaust, trim tabs, and the solid red gel coat.  The boat is in great condition with 220 hours, after running diagnostics over 100 of the hours where spent at idle.  The boat is loaded with snap on covers, full american flag cover, plastic salon enclosure, bow filler cushions, rear filler cushion, updated stereo, and tons of led lighting inside and below the swim platform with remote to control the lighting designs.  I am blown away with the boat.  I also find myself feeling a bit like an amateur buying a boat in February worrying about winterizing, and maintenence.  Usually not much winter here in North-Central Texas, but this year has been the very cold exception.  We do most of our boating at Possum Kingdom Lake which is about 30 minutes from where we live.  This website is great, and I have allready found a lot of great threads.  Wish it would warm up, can't wait till Summer.

    Congrats Brent and welcome to the forum.  Judging by the avatar, she looks to be a beauty.  You'll love the 266BR, it's a great boat in my humble opinion.  I think you'll find that you have a pretty rare version too because you don't see too many with the LPX option.  There are a lot of great folks on here who can help with any questions you may have about the boat and be sure to post more pictures when you get a chance.

    Welcome to the site Brent!!  Looks like you found a sweet new toy to play with.  Might see you on the lake sometime as PK is our favorite place. There are lots of helpful people here, so don't be bashful about asking questions.
