I need more room. Lookin for a new house in the county. I don't have any room for another boat. Heck i don't have room for the one I got!! I do want my next restore to be something big with a cuddy, and after looking at a few of those restores I like these boats!

BGKY can kindly offer $850, or $950 if the seller wants to "test the trailer" down I71 into the Cincy/Florence area. Buyer can meet in that area splitting the distance, and if seller gets there without a blown tire or bearing, good sign!

Spent many days in the Florence/Erlanger area for baseball, and there is a great authentic mexican eats tucked in there with great Margaritas.

ROAD TRIP?

Well gentlemen (I use the term loosely), I think my search is at an end. I've been talking to the fellow who owns this, and I'm going to look at it this Sunday. I can't wait. It also helps that I have a few potential buyers for my trihull!

Real nice looking Islander Skagen, check out around the outdrive real close, a couple of those pictures are showning some corrosion on the transom.

Well, just before I had to attend a funeral this past Friday, the seller backed out of the deal. So I'm on the hunt again.

Why would a SELLER back out of a deal?

He no longer wants to sell the boat? :confused:

Yeah. Apparently, no one in his family was willing to buy it, they were all hoping he would just give it to them. Apparently, me expressing interest in the boat motivated one of his grandsons to actually pay for the boat.

Carp, be prepared for someone to buy up a decent SC offered at anything that doesn't seem absolutely insane. That story has been heard a few times recently.

Clearly you have also discovered the mob isn't one of those 'no don't do it' support groups..

Might have to cast a larger search beyond delaware. And they'll razz ya, but if it's tin, your in, usually....

I know lenient tin racism didn't make sense to me either, I got over it. Only took a moment & a dang 'Buy it now' button on flea-bay'

Yeah, I'm up to a 500 mile radius at this point.

It's been almost a month & the ad is still active?? Mr. Wit???? Might give it another run up.... $2400 asking? Had that changed since you last had a deal in place? If you were offering & he 'kind of' accepted less, you might have the Admiral call & ask some rookie type questions & make an appt to see it if it's still for sale.... A few minutes on the phone isn't much to risk if it was the size, type/style, I/O you were looking for....Good luck!

That ad has been up for a long time, and it's on a few different sites. I think he's not exactly savvy enough to get it taken down.
