Well i set up an appointment to check out a boat that is at a dealer.It was a 19 foot singray. Talked with the guy Monday night and told him i would give him a call in a daiy or two when i could make it out there. They are about 80 miles away.
Called this morning The guy i spoke to was off today so i talked to another sales guy and said i had time today Thur or Sat. He said come on down so i left work earlier and headed out there.
SO we went in to the storage room where the boats were and it was dark couldnt see very well.Showed me he boat. which is fine i suppose Asked about any maintance that had been done by them or the previous owner. Said wasnt sure but we tracked down the guy who did there maintance and he said he just replaced the lower unit today and winterized the boat today.Told me it ran nice started right up yadda yadda yadda.I said great let me hear it? Said he couldnt because it go winterized. Unless i wanted to pay to have to winterized again.Then asked "so do you want it" LMAO you kidding me right? You gonna give me a warranty since i have no idea if it starts or whats wrong with it. How do I know any thing works in the boat.
I told him i wasnt gonna buy any boat that i havent given a test run or at the very least heard it run and checked all the bells whistles etc Told him i dont think they sell too many boats in the winter why let something like winterizing a boat ruin the sale. I really liked the boat and would have bought it had it all everything checked out.Said i would be surprised they do sell alot.Then asked if i wanted to wait till Spring. LOL He stated he would have the other guy call me if things change. LOL
Told him well thanks for wasting my time have a nice day. He said you too shook hands and i left. Rather irritated to say the least.
Back to the drawing board.
