Goodnight Moon:

How do you like your Arima. I saw it at the boat show and fell in love. I went out to Southhold to check it out. I was all set to buy the 21 Sea Ranger Hard top until my wife talked me out of it. We ended up putting a deposit on a 26 Robalo. I still like the Arima. How does it perform? How is the ride? Is it dry? It looks like it's the perfect family boat.

Goodnight Moon:

Thanks for the detailed reply. It is very generous of you to offer us a ride. I am really impressed with the fuel economy of the Honda 4 stroke. You're really lucky that you have a boat that makes you and your family happy. I cannot even begin to express the disgust I have for the boat that I'm trading in for my new boat. I wonder why Arimas aren't more popular?

You're not gushing at all. Look how everyone reveres Parker. Boats are a cult. No question about it. Why not? Shouldn't you be proud that you have a safe and secure boat under your feet. I'm not revealing my current boat until it's out of my life. It's like a bad marriage, it aint over till it's over.

Quality is most evident with boats. Arimas cost a few grand more than comprable boats. An Arima is several thousand more than a comprabale Pro-Line or Striper Sea Swirl with good reason. There is no such thing as a price built boat. If a boat is low end, such as a Bayliner, there's no way you're getting quality. For new boaters this becomes evident in a 3 foot chop.
