Finalizing the details on a new to me 2008 AR230 HO in excellent condition with only 89 hours. Already been doing a ton of reading here. Cant wait for spring to get going. Located specifically in Apex, NC and spend most my time on Harris or Jordan.

Welcome! There are a ton of us here in the raleigh area. If you get your boat ready in time several us are making a day trip on Kerr Lake April 21st. Going to put in at Nutbush and ride to Clarksville for lunch then back again. About 10-11 boats already confirmed. You should join.

Nice boat. Which ramp do you use? We go to seaforth when we go cause we like the pull through parking spots.

 

[Nealg]

Still getting to know the ramps here but plan to use fearrington. Open to suggestions.

 

[sethman919]

Never been to that one. Too far from Apex.

Coming from Greenville NC where would you guys recommend I put in if I wanted to boat in that area

@waterboy knows the best ramp on Jordan, I always forget the name of it. (and don't use the one right before it, they lock the gates early)

We use this ramp right off Hwy 64, very nice. 6 lanes, lots of parking. However it is through the park so they close around 8-9 at night plus there’s a $6-7 fee.

This is seaforth.

Congrats on the AR230! I have an ‘07 so if you have any specific questions, let me know since they are practically the same boat.

 

[sethman919]

Where do you guys take your boats for service?

 

[bronze_10]

Watercraft concepts.. Steve smith s the owner.. Great guy.. Been doing all my work since 2012 and he comes to your boats location. No taking it anywhere. . I can give u his number if u want it..
