| Reaching out on local boards is definitely the way to start looking for a boat. Sometimes dealers are willing to put you in touch with someone who is buying a new boat from them and wants to sell their previous boat. That's how I got my used OC - JD Davies, the Ozone dealer in the Gorge told me about it. | Reaching out on local boards is definitely the way to start looking for a boat.

| PS There's not a lot of options as far as the foam seats that come with the OCs - one size does not fit all butts. Maybe younger asses fare better, but I had to do some experimentation with shaping my seat before I got to where my butt didn't ache and my legs weren't going to sleep way too quickly - worse for me on flat water, downwinding with all of the additional body movement there tends to reduce that problem. | PS There's not a lot of options as far as the foam seats that come with the OCs - one size does not fit all butts.
