Well I thought I was clean I gave up my tri state scanning of Craigs list for boats for sale by owner. I was doing well without support groups. The other night I stayed up late was stressed out from work and had a few beers I figured what would it hurt to just take a glance at just the local craig's boats for sale by owner, not like I would really consider buying but just a glance, heck the wife was sleeping I could delete it from my history. Well like many others I came across a listing that didn't seem possible who in their right mind would sell a boat for that price, they have no idea what they have. I foolishly responded but did not feel guilty because of the zero chance of actually being the lucky sucker that got the boat for that price. I hate to admit it I kept checking my e-mail all day the next day seeing if there was a response and there was nothing, I was frustrated that I felt that old feeling of not letting a deal get away, again I relapsed and send another message that I can meet any time and am very interested not a tire kicker or lowballer. I felt shame as I analyzed the storage space and spousal explanation but still felt while I flirted with the edge I did not go over that line and bring home another old ratty boat
Last night the seller responded and said he would be at home at 11:00 this morning I beat 25 other guys that responded to the ad with a boat trailer and $100 to score a mid 50's Alumacraft Flying D. Oh sure I relapsed but this FD will hold me over till next spring. I will post of pics later.
