It took the Roots about two years of shopping around to find their Sundancer 320. At first Chad was uncertain about the boat because it needed a lot more work than he'd ini- tially planned on, but it was the only vessel that had the right specs and everything he was looking for in terms of features. By the time he found his family's future Sea Ray, Chad was ready to take the leap and get his family onboard. "One of the things was timing," mentioned Chad. "I knew the boat needed work but I also knew it was stuff I could get taken care of. It's one of those things—I wanted this boat because of the familiarity surrounding it. I knew it would be easy enough to find people with the answers if I needed them. I didn't want to buy something really obscure that people weren't familiar with. My family has a boating background and we've always had Sea Rays." THE PERFECT WEEKENDER Now that Chad and his family have gotten through the gremlins, all that's left to do with their Sea Ray is enjoy the boat in all its grandeur. As a whole, the boat has matched every ex- pectation the family has had in terms of luxury and performance. "The layout of the boat itself is perfect," testified Chad. "The me- chanical system of the boat, the pow- ering and the way the boat performs is fantastic. Another thing that stands out is luxuriousness of the cabin. The cherry cabinets, the surfaces and finishes… everything is just very, very comfortable for us to go and stay for a weekend and really enjoy it. It's a beautiful boat." During the summer, the whole family anticipates their weekly week- end getaways on Lake Michigan with their prized vessel. They've already experienced countless hours of en- tertainment with family and friends thanks to the boat. If the skies are clear and the temperature's warm, you can bet you'll find the Roots out on the lake every weekend enjoying their Sea Ray.
