Thanks CT......I have been on this board for years now, saving every penny I had hoping I could buy one of these. I have fixed up plenty of boats, 7 in total, to get enough $ together in order to buy my baby. I remember the first time I visited this site, pre-new home page many moon's ago, salivating over the hull on the home page.

I am thankful for what I have, believe me I am. I am thankful for the fact that I took the boat to the marina to have them look at the scrapes on the bottom to see if they could marinetex it. There are only two things in my life that are worth more then anything money could buy me, my wife and my son. Thankfully I lucked out by having the guys look at the bottom, maybe I saved our lives, who knows.

And even though I feel totally ripped off I still think the guy "may" have been honest. From what he told me this was his first boat, didn't really know how to maintain it etc. He thought the gas tank cover was supposed to flex due to foam under it....who knows, maybe its been like that since he got it and he was ripped off too....

I know things will work out and I appreciate everyone's input, I truly do. This is therapeutic for me right now...and I need all I can get!
