Re: Tin finally scores!
Guess you could say I was lucky. After the Seacraft episode, I was fit to be tied! I drove to Bradenton to check out an 18SC, not for me. I was thinking of bringing the laptop and decided there was no need....WRONG! I could have searched from the hotel room. Instead, I had phester on the phone checking boat listings for me. I did buy a boatrader mag and the Center Console was in there and boatrader.com. I called the guy to tell him my situation and that I only brought so much money to buy the other boat (which was quite a bit less than he was asking). He said he could only go down so much. I said I understand and thought I would at least ask. Awhile later I was on the phone with the guy in Bradenton and the guy with the V20 called and left a message, he said he wanted to talk and see if I would like to at least the boat. The boat was located in Ocala, not too far out of the way heading home. Seller was a real good dude, beautiful home, nice vehicles, huge diesel pusher motorhome, immaculate garage, you could tell he kept all his stuff nice. I checked out the boat and said it was beautiful but I didn't have the money....long story short...he came down, I came up...I got boat!
What turned out to be a nightmare, ended up a wet dream!
