Mustang - To each his own. I don't have enough energy left to argue with you. Seller could have prevented all of this bullshit. It won't be my loss, I assure you. Every day new offerings appear.

This is how I understood it, but it does not matter at this point. I'm past the point of being able to work with this seller. I am confident I will find a boat. The Gulfstream is still at the top of my list but there are others that meet my baseline criteria.

Your correct about not knowing all of the details and I'm not going to get into all the weeds here. I would have finalized the deal on the water with a bank check, the seller would have the title and bill of sale ready to finalize. I would most definitely have had a policy/coverage ready to go...

I could not successfully get through the details of the text in the written offer with the seller. Our final discussion went poorly over a few sentences the seller wanted me to include. Basically making me fully liable for anything that could happen to the boat during the haul out & sea trial...

I thought it was the unicorn I was looking for but apparently not. The deal has fallen apart, & offer has been rescinded. What a sh*t rollercoaster ride. My search continues.

Our offer was accepted, we are working towards the coordination of the marine transport and survey. If everything checks out we will finalize the deal on the water after a successful sea trial, then take it my home port / slip by sea (15 miles). In the worst case scenario, a deal breaking...

Thank you. I am trying to work out the offer to include the contingencies. I need to define the criteria which constitutes a pass/fall of the survey/sea trial. I'm struggling a little with how granular this should be. I expect everything to be in working order (this is what I was told) and...

Thank you I appreciate the insight, it definitely puts me at ease some. It kills me that a 14yr old boat (6yr old motor) is going to cost what it is. I plan keep this for a long time, well beyond the motors life. I could be the last boat I purchase.

I crawled all over this boat yesterday and it is very clean in side and out. I'm told, but will verify, all systems are in good working order (except the spot light). The only issue that I see visually that bothers me is the swim platform mounting bracket. I took my own pictures (included...

I feel the same way about both of those motors. IMHO Yamaha 350's are a nightmare and Evinrude is simply just done. I'd welcome the additional power of the 350 but not the headaches that come with that motor.

Thank you for your assessment of the rust stains. I hear you on the twins but I really want a single 300. I know we could run in circles all day about handling and efficiency. I'm in MA and will be using the boat in Cape cod Bay & Stellwegan bank. Occasionally, weather permitting I'll go 35...

I appreciate the replies. Good point, I hope it is just rusty hardware. I haven't decided on a surveyor yet but I also haven't ruled it out. I'm confident in my own ability for the most part. I've been on the water for 20 years and & have replaced or repaired nearly everything along the way...

I am looking at 232's from 2008 / 2016. If older, it would likely be freshly repowered and if newer it would probably original power to be my price range. I found one I like and it looks pretty clean but has some staining on the transom coming from where the swim platform is bolted on. I'm a...
