Soon to be Sea Ray Owner

[Kreole Kid]

Just stumbled across the site this morning. I have a offer in on a '04 320 repo with less than 20 hours on both engines. 87k, She seems to be in excellent shape with a FEW MINOR issues that the owner is addressing. Any thoughts?:huh:

If a repo, why would the owner be addressing any issues, minor or not???

You must be buying it from a broker, huh???

The current owner scooped it from the bank and he's just trying to flip it, so I figured he stole it and had a little room to work on the pricing / profit margin. The guy lives in Canada but has it listed in Jacksonville Florida with the broker. There is a vibration issue and a steering issue. When whoever put it on a trailer, they had to move one of the rudders and didn't move it back before taking it off the trailer. I'm going back for Seatrial 2 and hopefully the issues have been cleared. I think the vibration and steering issues are due to the rudder being out of spec. Feedback anyone?

Kreole Kid....Make sure you don't have a shaft issue...your probably right with it being the rudder but make sure you don't have shaft problems..this could be very expensive but i quess if the owner is taking care of it, its no problem to you...make certain your mechanic has checked the shaft alignment regardless, to rule this out...
