True, but at least the charity auctioneer for this boat doesn't charge a BS "document fee" of $300 for the item in addition to the auction price like "boatangels" does. In point of fact, I've bought 2 items (V20 for $600 and a 10' inflatable) from this particular auctioneer in the past and have been hugely happy with both of them. Both have been exactly as described.
Truth is, if this auction was closer to me I'd be in it. The dual axle trailer is worth the price plus by itself, and if the engine and hull are as described then that's up to a $6000 turn around with just a day devoted to power washing. If the engine and hull are crap then the profit from the trailer will easily pay for the cost of scrapping the rest. So I'd still make a profit. But I just don't feel like making the drive to Ohio this time of the year.
