Looks pretty good...I would contact the seller and ask him about that neg feedback he received recently if I were going to bid.

oh well, looks like it's gonna go outta my range. still plenty of time left and it's over $500. already. i would have gone to $600. maybe.
the search goes on.

Charlie, you gave up too easy, its only at $510 right now, its got 4 days left on the auction, sit back and see what it does in a couple of days and make a bid

spare, only way to justify a boat purchase now would be if it stayed under a certain amount. worst case i'll just wait another few months and find a deal closer to next season. wife's against it but i cant go another summer without a boat. gotta work some more o/t and knock down some of these bills first. show her i mean business.

How about this strategy with the wife.........

1st - tell her you're giving serious consideration to buying a NEW boat - to avoid all the time and labor needed to restore an old boat. Let this sink in good for a while.

Then - when you find the USED boat you want, tell her you decided it wouldn't be fair to spend all that money on a new boat, so you're going to buy a used one.

She'll wind up thanking you for you're consideration, and praise your virtues.

Happy wife / and end of story.
