Hi Everyone,
Some follow-up on this one posted here last week: the CV19 in AZ. I would like the engine and trailer for my CV21 restoration, maybe eventually restore the CV19 (which does needs a lot!):
1.) I made contact with the buyer long enough to tell him I would be getting a quote to ship to MI. It's about $1000, less than I feared. Shipping it into freezing temps would be an issue, though, if it there's water in the engine.
2.) So I wanted to know when the boat was last run (it says "ready for lake"), and does he have the title(s)? Seller has been silent all this week.
3.) In the meantime, the price had already dropped from $2500 to $2200, and is now listed at $1700.
Don't know what the recent events mean, but passing on the info in case it had caught anyone else's attention. I'm waiting for a response from the seller. I could probably ask my wife's cousin's husband, a Phoenix lawyer, to get involved if it got to the point of a transaction. Or maybe he could store it until it's spring up here?
