Just bought a 2004 Maxum 2500 SE

[rwc]

Hello all,

I have just taken possession of a 2004 Maxum 2500 SE with MCM 5.7L Mercruiser and a Bravo 3 sterndrive. Her name is White Pearl and she was a single owner family boat prior to me buying her.

I'm naval architect, so I know big ships, but this is my first boat, so I know very little (pretty much nothing!) about boats. The boat will continue to be a family boat for my wife, myself, and two small kids. I'll operate the boat in the sheltered waters near Vancouver, Canada and surrounding islands.

I'm guaranteed to have lots of problems and silly questions, but will do my best to read through all of your past experiences first. Great site and thanks, it's already helped!
