76 Jersey V sale

[phester]

what is his reason for no sea trial? I bought [actually traded my boat for the v-20] and did not sea trial. I am no mechanic ,but I've had boats most of my life so I'm not to much of a greenhorn either. I did the transom bounce, the rubber mallet sound check, the compression test and basically the overall cond. of the boat, you could tell it was properly cared for. I had a good feel about the p.o. as well, nice guy, who didn't know squat about boats, so he always had it serviced in the beginning of the season and the end of the season [w/ receipts to back it up] I wouldn't call it a deal breaker....proceed w/ caution and good luck
