24 GREAT LAKES BOATING | Yo u r L i f e
mysteriously, the Roots had their days of doubts.
There was one Sunday evening that they had to make
it home on only one engine because the starboard engine
died. The battery was completely dead and the emergency
crossover startup refused to start.
"That's one of those evenings where you go, "I'm selling
that boat!" laughed Chad. "But then by Tuesday morning
you're working through it and it's fine."
A GREAT LAKES BOATING BRAND
The Roots bought their Sea Ray at B&E Marine in
Michigan City, Ind., and Chad feels like this is one of the
best Sea Ray dealers around his area. They worked with
Chris Cipares at the dealership who has been selling boats
for about 20 years, which helped make the buying process
smooth and easy for the family.
Chad had B&E Marine do a bunch of work on their
Sundancer 320 right away. They worked through some of
the issues on the boat together and he was very impressed
with the dealership's communication and service. "I think
they're really good at what they do," added Chad.
One of the big pluses about the Sea Ray brand is that
they're pretty common boats in the Great Lakes area. That
makes it easier when it comes to questions on how to oper-
ate or fix common issues. There are plenty of people on the
Y O U R L I F E
