If you want my opinion, I think you should buy this boat.

If you're serious, pm me and we can mull over some numbers to get you interested. I don't like having to keep it at my mothers, so I'd like to find it a home.

I could have my wife talk to yours about how sweet of a deal this is...

But really, completely understand. If there is a way to make the pot sweeter and the wife will understand, let me know!

I want this thing to start to move, I'm getting a lot of tire kickers, but no one taking it home yet...

I'm coming down to $2000, and will be making a craigslist ad for this weekend on thurs/fri to see if it will move. So if that turns any interest in here, please let me know asap so I can get you first dibs.

Oh man, it was awful,  was showing the boat lastnight, and everything that could go wrong did. It all happened at once. Guy was super interested to buy the boat, so first things first, I figured let me go out and get it ready to start and put the muffs on it and all.. First ding, the battery is dead... Crap, go grab the charger, see if I can't get some life back into it. After charging for a bit I want to see if I can get the trim down... Nope the trim is spinning like it has air stuck in it. (it actually did this 2 seasons ago, brought it into the shop that did the stator, and they said it must have had air in it because it was working again without doing anything, so I know I can get that going) Crap.... Ok ok, I'll try running it as it sits, start to prime the bulb, line squirts gas... What the hell, go look at it, my fault here, the line is so old its hard as a rock and cracking, damn! Cut the line put back in enough to get fuel flowing, try to start, battery and charger not pushing enough amps to crank fast enough to wake the ol girl from her beauty rest...

Just crap, it never rains it pours... So now I gotta get all this stuff fixed and work on the boat to sell it... I'm starting to kick myself in the ass for not just trading it in...  I'm thinking I'll start taking offers of anything over $1k just so I don't have to deal with it anymore.... I figure if I get at least $1k+, thats what I would have gotten with trade in and tax off of the new buy... I'm just tired of dealing with the sale, and honestly I haven't even had to deal with it that much, but I'm throwing in the towel...

If no one wants it in its current state as it sits for that price, I'll have to fix and repost again...

I've tossed it up on craigslist for $1200

I did some research on battery's few years back, this one gets good reviews and is cheap.

I can copy and paste the T & T bleeding steps from the manual if you need them.

I actually have another starting battery and everything.... We'll see, if it doesn't go before the weekend I'll start working on it... I just don't have time to do anything during the week...

Don't get me wrong, I do appreciate the offer to help, but at this point, I'm just starting to get sick of the boat... And want it gone... Its becoming more of a headache than I wanted to deal with. I thought it would have sold a lot faster, or at least had more interest... I didn't even get low ballers offering on it which was odd, I've never not even had low ball offers come in..

Well then, have I got a deal for you!  :D

Honestly, if I didn't have the B, we'd be talking.  Beautiful boat...I'm sure it'll sell.

Sale is pending. I removed the ad's because I'm getting swamped with emails. I will follow up in here once I have more.

I'm happy its got a good home to go to for someone. Glad it didn't go to someone who would just beat on it for a year then scrap it.

Very nice meeting you today I'll be in touch when I find those other keys.

Thanks again Ross. I hope you get out on the water soon on her! Please do feel free to contact me anytime if any questions come up and I will do my best to answer. I'm almost sure I know where that key is, its at my father's house, so next time I stop over there I will go digging for it.
