    2007 38 Sundancer

    We purchased the boat in March 2008; we were second owner. The boat had 38 hours when I bought it, and still had the full one year warranty for the boating season as previous owner bought it in September, 2007 and then traded up to 52 Sundancer. All maitenance has been done as recommended...

    What to do when boat didn't sell

    So Scot, now that that's done is it permitted to post links to the major sales sites in the classified? The boat is on at least 3.

    What to do when boat didn't sell

    I have supported the site over past few years, but I thought my boating days were over this time last year. I have just come out of hibernation now that we decided to splash again, so I probably should support again. The boat is on every major site, just finished a bad experience with a deal...

    What to do when boat didn't sell

    Answer: Just decided today to leave Florida home after July 4 and get the boat and splash! Then off to Reefpoint to join 7 others in crossing the lake to Pentwater, Saugatuck, and South Haven. We are going to try to live on boat until end of August. We are open for comments on how to live...

    Less than Satisfactory Survey - How does Seller get Results

    We had the short time frames in the original agreement but Lake Michigan did not cooperate for sea trial. Then the surveyor was backed up in getting written reports out, although we cut the requested extension from 7 days to 3. My learning experience is to figure out how to get the purchase...

    Less than Satisfactory Survey - How does Seller get Results

    Thanks for the comments. I understood from the start that this deal was dead, but I want to understand if there is an issue. The buyer will not return any calls or emails from the dealer, either the brokers office at dealer in Wisconsn or office where he lives in Ohio. My broker knows...

    Less than Satisfactory Survey - How does Seller get Results

    My broker says he has talked to surveyor ( who he says is one of best in Chicago area), and report supposedly says an anomaly in sound when tapping on hull equidistant on both port and starboard sides. No structural defects found. The PA addendum says delamination along chines, which is...

    Less than Satisfactory Survey - How does Seller get Results

    It is the buyers broker, but my broker and the buyers broker sit next to each other and have same supervisor. Since Sea Ray has built a bunch of 38's does any one know if it's possible to have broker check with factory to see if they have history of similar results. I'm struggling that my...

    Less than Satisfactory Survey - How does Seller get Results

    Broker says they will produce a letter to me with what report actually says, which is my only real issue. It would be hard to find someone who sells more boats in Chicsgo / Milwaukee area. I had boat gone through twice, once when listed by my mechanic and again by broker when placed in...

    Less than Satisfactory Survey - How does Seller get Results

    My real problem is that the broker wrote up a document that was not factual. In theory I am required to disclose this since I only have the document that says the defect, although supposedly it is not accurate. I don't care as much about he buyer as much as the broker writing something not...

    Less than Satisfactory Survey - How does Seller get Results

    My buyer just pulled out of the purchase agreement. My broker called and said surveyor found a sound anomaly equidistant on both port and starboard sides of hull and could not determine reason. Broker told me the report said no structural defects. Could be how boat was assembled since found...

    What are differences between the 38 and 390/40 Sundancer?

    The 390/40 is 2 feet longer and 8" more in the beam. Therefore the salon space is noticeably larger. When they went to the side hull windows the nomenclature was changed to 40 from 390. With all that said, I know of a very well cared for 2007 38 for sale in the Racine WI area. :smt001

    Final Boat Trip

    The boat was just posted on the brokerage web site today. Sad day for me. I think I will leave work now and go wash the boat. Five more days until I retire for second time!
