Default Re: Another PA V20 for Sale

Your right dead beats can be a problem .......... but so can deceptive sellers. I won a bid on EBAY for a 22' boat. THe write up was great and the pictures were even better. I paid my $500 deposit and drove to NC to pick it up .........

I've seen salvage boats in better condition ...... there was a large patched hole in the transom with fiberglass just slopped on ..... they bottom painted over barnacles ..... I sat on the seat and the back fell off ...... all trim wood was rotten etc etc etc ..... and the trailer was worse ..... the back of the wheels where the brakes are supposed to be was half rusted away and it had bald radial tires that were so overloaded that you literally could not pump them up so they didn't look mostly flat .......... the trailer was rusted and bent .......

I lost my deposit and another other $500 in registration fees and travel expenses but I refused to pay the rest or take the boat ...........

guess I'm a dead beat too .......
