Perhaps the better idea would be to send a direct/personal message to the members that were selling the boats as opposed to reviving 9 old threads, all of which are several years old.
I responded to your other post. Grasping at straws? When do you need to have the boat by? I looked for a 228 Seafarer for over a year before I finally found the right one. Don't get discouraged and fling money towards a junker. I had a surveyor go out and look at a 228 Seafarer in New York and it was a pile. Yeah I was pissed at the seller for not being honest about the condition and having to spend over $600 on the survey but it's better than spending tens of thousands of dollars on a pig.
I hear yah. Wife wants that kind of boat. She has a bucket list with cancer and all. I like it too. She said if I can quit smoking I could buy one and it’s been 3 months now and I’m going crazy. Thanks for getting back.
It’s strange because I’m not doing it for my health believe it or not, nor am I doing it for her and yes, she does have cancer but doing well and never smoked a day in her life. I’m doing it for a boat. Believe it or not I am saving about $450-$500 a month not smoking and that can buy a nice boat. Using mint flavored tooth picks and every time I go crazy I look at this 265 Express I almost bought. Never been a runner. Want it more than anything and just can’t find one that pass’s survey. Fells like forever been looking but it’s only been 3 months. That Express is the smallest boat I’ve found that can handle what I would want to do without going bigger. Much bigger and it won’t be feasible on fuel and what I want to do. Small but still easy to handle yourself and not kill the wallet as much as a 30’ Pursuit or Grady. Like I said, you see anything or hear anything let me know.
