He's owned it for 3 months?

I'm missing your point. Boat has 60 hours, that's 20 per month or 2.5 hrs a day on the weekend. I suspect a high end boat like that would get used a lot? Not sure on the price as that one is above my pay grade, LOL.

Probably was wondering why buy one and sell it three months later. The depreciation would be killer. But plenty of people have money enough to not care... He got told about the next cooler boat, and decided he had to have it. Who knows.

You couldn't give it to me; well you could but I'd turn around and sell it for its worth... All I see is a vinyl upkeep nightmare. My next boat is gonna have as little vinyl as possible.

I believe the "unsinkable" part but I had to notice the woard "upright" was not in the description.

Oh Bob you know that isn't true. Those vans can hold a lot more the 19. I've watched border wars before. :facepalm:

As I learned when I joined the Army, being crammed in the back of 5 tons and LMTVs; there is always room for one more.

The first time this boat was listed it was called the "Jolly Roger"
After a year to age, it's now vintage and ready to go ... except the windows ... and the motor ... and ....

If I needed or wanted 1, I'd certainly would look at it, and I'd show up ready to get it out of there. If its still there. Are they expensive?

If it wasn't in Seattle, it would be at my dock already. Even if it's broken in some way, it can be fixed.....
