Hi Jim I follow your link from THT and was wondering if you could help me out with a little information. We are looking at a boat that is for sale in FLA. I believe the owner is listing it himself. We live in MA and are thinking of flying down to look at the boat at the beginning of April. The problem is we would only be able to drive down to pick the boat to trailer it back at the end of April. I was wondering how this tansaction should transpire? If we make them and offer after sea trail etc, and they accept do I leave a 10% down payment with them, getting a receipt from the owner?I would use a personal check that would have plenty of time to clear before we picked up the boat.Then make the trip down to pick up the boat at the end of April. I guess it would be a good idea to sea trail the boat again before handing over the money for final payment with a bank check.The boat is a 2004 model only has 20 hour on it and I'm thinking it might be worth the drive to go and get it.
Any help with ideas would greatly easy my mind with leaving a lump of money in FLA for a deposit.
Thanks Barry and Karen
