Finally Did It -- New Owner of 2006 Coronet 2900

[Newbie7749]

    So excited that I finally received my 2006 Coronet.  It appears to be in great condition (only about 200 hours on 375 Crusaders).  The survey only identified a couple of minor issues.

My only near term project is installing an AC unit for the small cabin (this will become a napping spot/respite from the pool in the summer).  

Only sad thing was not being able to utilize the boat before it was put into storage.  I had the boat shipped from Virginia and it went right into winter storage because there is no sense in putting in the water in Cleveland, Ohio at this time of year.

I had a 23 Striper for a few years; and my wife's only concern is that I won't be able to drive this beat.  Such a big beam for a 29 foot boat (11'4'').

So excited to be a Tiara owner!

Twin inboards are so much easier to drive, tell your wife that wont be an issue. My recommendation is to take someone who has experience with twins out the first couple of times. And just practice. I think I spent the first weekend just practicing putting it in and out of my slip and up to the wall at the pump out. After that, it was no big deal.

Congrats. After a little practice you will be able to thread a needle with that boat. When I pull into a foreign marina and then send to the transient area I enjoy the challenge now when in past boats I would be nervous. These boats can completely spin in their own footprint. You are going to love it.

As said above, Welcome. The twins are a whole new world in maneuverability. One thing I always tell people is to go out and back it up to a bouy. Stand backwards with your butt against the steering wheel and maneuver a circle around the bouy keeping the stern of the boat pointed at it. It will teach you the charastics of the boat really fast.

When backing into your slip do the same and stand backwards facing the direction of trabel. Rotating your head and body from front to rear during backing always creates a few seconds of reorientation and confusion so stay facing the direction of travel.

Oh yea, and never approach a dock faster than you are willing to hit it.

Hi
Congratulations..nice looking boat
I recently adopted (bought) your twin sister in Sydney, Australia.
Was originally the 2006 Harbour edition with the maroon hull but was repainted in a brown/bronze colour a few years ago.
Only 1 of  7 Tiaras that were dealer imported into Australia.
Rare boat in these parts!
