Egret 290 for sale

Hey everyone, this is my first post but have been on this forum for a few years and have found this site to be a wealth of information. My name is Patrick and live near Annapolis, Maryland and mainly fish the Chesapeake bay area. I recently sold my Parker 2500 se and was looking for something that would ride a little better in the chop. I am on the search for a new boat but really haven't had any luck finding what I want in my price range. If money was no object I would just buy a Conch 27, Whitewater 28 or a Parker 2801.

So I am looking for used boats and came across a 2002 Egret 290 powered by a Yanmar 315. I spoke to the broker last week and he was able to provide a little info on the boat but was not sure where the boat was located at the moment. I have since left him an email and voicemail but haven't heard back from him. Does anyone know this boat by chance? Does anyone know the ride quality of this boat and how they were built. Everything I have seen on the internet suggest that Egrets are very well made boats. Thanks for any help. below is the link for the boat.

You would pay more money for a Egret 2011 that is 9 ft. shorter and has a outboard....Do yourself a favor buy it. It's not a rocket but it sips fuel. It has a great dry ride and will never fall apart.

Thanks. Hopefully the broker will call me back and I can get down there to see it or send a surveyor to check it out for me.
