360 --about to pull the trigger

So.. I sold my 280 this week, and will be flying from West Virginia down to Alabama to look at, and sea trial a 2012 360EC. After the demo of the 370 at the Miami boat show in February, we had our hearts set on a new one, but I think for now a nice used 360 will be more practical. 360 owners.... anything I want to look at or check. Or any input on your thoughts on the boat. This thing has every option available. It was actually Kim's demo and was bought at a boat show new.. so it has all the bells and whistles! Twin 496s, Axius, Hardtop, private forward stateroom, etc. The survey was complete yesterday, with only a few minor issues mentioned, such as a stuck zipper and a few other odds and ends. Any feedback is appreciated!

    Holy Cow!!! !Pull that trigger! Looks AWESOME - a great find of what appears to be a VERY well maintained and treated boat! Plus a LOT of money saved over purchasing new....and the previous owner will have taken care of warranty issues etc. You are going to LOVE that boat.

    A Rinker EC 360 (looks like a 2012) has just been slipped at the marina beside our condo. I have to walk by it every day. Makes the Admiral sad but reminds me of the great fun we had.

    BTW with the 496s you won't have to deal with those expensive cats, right?

    CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

    Amazing looking, the only thing I would do is replace that one tiny center screen in the dash with two of the biggest screens that can fit and use them to do whatever various tasks they do these days..

    If you can get a well-maintained EC 350/360 with 496s/502s that is only a few years old and has Axius for 150K JUMP on it fast - or someone else will!

    For EC 350/360s - IMO - MUSTS..... 496s/502s and Axius. Highly Recommend ..... Hard top. Very Nice To Have..... some warranty, radar. Luxuries.....satellite TV, touch screen GPS, sea deck, underwater lights.

    Thanks for all the input guys. The sea trial went great, we've negotiated a very fair deal. Just tying up some final details. I fell in love with all the technology and room. A big step from the 280! Thanks @Michael T for all your input and help along the way. And, @Cableguy Greg you may get to see her first! I think we're going to have to have it put in at Pittsburgh! Hope everyone's having a great weekend!
