Hey slow your roll there Mopar Man! (I assume by your name PlumbCrazy4spd you have a Challenger/Charger 4 speed and you are not particularly a SBC fan).
Sounds like you already decided to buy this boat. Have you inspected, test run, had a survey done yet? Go into it slowly and objectively. On my current boat, I brought a close “boat experienced” friend with me on the sea trial. I told him the biggest favor he could do for me was to find a reason to not buy the boat. He failed me.
No good God no, not yet. That was more of a joke, I do hope to get on the water this year, but I'm in no particular rush. I will be having a more boat savvy friend or two come inspect it with me as well. Provided I can get into the state and check it out. While I know it won't be perfect, hopefully it's a decent cruiser. Ideally I won't be paying the asking price, I'd obviously like to spend as little as possible, assuming cash talks if I show up with a truck to haul it away. He is more than happy to oblige me with a sea trial. I'm fairly mechanically inclined, no mechanic by any stretch of the imagination. I'll assume you recommend a survey? If it was more money a survey would be a no brainer. Though, not that I want to spend 13k on a lemon either. You are correct about Ma Mopar. Roadrunner though, and while I'm a Mopar guy at heart, I do have a soft spot for some Chevies and Fords too =]
