what'd you get?

$3500

I have never had water get in that boat!! Well thur the bottom ;)

Use to have a toliet in the boat and the 2 ball vaules are closed and from the otside i pluged them up so thy never be used again!

So all there is, is the plug. I have used the boat since the Wave and it has never leaked?

the boat had a ton of rain water today and I drained it cause I left the plug in?

But he says they have it at the ramp tied to the dock so it won't sink :o

I hate selling stuff, we should just all throw it away when we are done!!

No wonder you were so hot on selling that thing.

Yea right!!

I feel real sick now!! :-[

Did you ask him how steep the ramp was? No boat likes to be launched down a cliff.

macojoe · #7 09-16-2007, 06:38 PM

I just called him again and i have no answer??

I have a full transom so water at launch isn't going to be the problem?

We swaped trailers a few weeks ago and the boat sat in the water half hour and never got a dop of water.

I am hoping he did not or the plug fell out? He said it was finger tight he did not put a wrench

hey mac what happened to your boat i heard something happened and you could have sunk what was it and glad your ok now you have to get another steplift

macojoe · #10 09-16-2007, 07:05 PM

OK heres the deal

I showed the guy the boat, I walked him all around, On the transom I have one of the plug holders that holds the plug so you don't lose it.
I said here is your plug you need a 9/16 wrench to put in the bottom.

I forgot to take the plug out and boat was full of water this morning so I knew there was something messed up, cause if it holds water in its going to hold water out!!

He launched the boat and headed out and when he saw water coming up from the floor headed back, they strapped it to the dock to strop from sinking.
Harborer master came and pumped it out enough so they could get on trailer, now its draining!

He said I miss understood you, I thought that was the hole the plug was in and I take it out with a 9/16 wrench!

So he never put the plug in!!! I told him you are not a real boat man till you forgot the plug!
So I guess he is one now, and I am sure he will never make that mistake again!!

My stomach still feels sick now, but I am glad thats all it was! I still hate to sell crap because of this stuff!!
