My Friend is buying a boat & driving me crazy

[alvarez]

o.k guys here is a update. always remenber that "truth is stranger than fiction"....we got the call from the dealer that bozo boy can get the boat for the price I offered. Now the next multi chose questions are.....

a/ he comes out of the closet and admits he is a hershey road driver. (because he is so happy)

b/ he makes another higher offer to the dealer ( against himself)

c/ buys the boat, and forgets where he parked it

[Stripersteve]

I'm still going with option D, you got a boat he don't need one , might get a couple bags of flour for the two lovlies though........

I CANNOT keep a friggin straight face when i see these two monstrosities. Its like a mind game....do i laugh or cry lmfao. good thing they have eachother...

imagine this....their skeletons are still small under all that..........that....that....i cant even think of a good word to use here..whale has been used...wookie is being to nice...their bigger than a volkswagon.....maybe a house...with alot of shady areas on the property.

My fat is scared of their fat man.

I think we'll need one of these to get them on and off the boat CC. A bouy tender.

[sea sea rider]

Is he a good friend :?: Good friends are hard to come bye. Don't forget its his first boat. Be easy on him. You remember your first boat. :?: As for you thats a nice step up (Blackfin)
I always loved the boat. Thats what a boat is suppose to look like. lots of luck, You have a great boat.

Yea CC those pics are hideous. I might have to delete them.
We cant have people come to the site and view stuff like that. They would head for the hills.

HEY 247 I THINK IT IS SO NICE OF YOU TO KEEP PHOTOS OF YOU EX GIRLFRIENDS :) I THINK ONE OF THEM WAS ON THE NEWS THIS MORNING FLOATING DOWN THE DELAWARE

Update.

Drove to wildwood NJ about 3 1/2 hour drive to meet the surveyor. 28 bucks a foot. Worth every dime. Also paid for a sea trial. (Owner wouldnt pay customary half) Engine remarkably quiet and solid Yamaha 200 4 stroke. 6000 RPMs and 39 MPH cruising in the bay.

Boat had issues. Loose wires No horn. Cabin throttle not connected to engine nor compatable. Trailer rollers off line. Most fixable cept 1. Transom had small cracks and was hollow in areas. Obviously had been worked on. Parts of it sound traveled right through it. a 600 pound engine bouncing on the trailer and bam. I visualized it at the bottom of the drink, an $11000 motor. Needs a whole new rebuilt transom. Deal killer. walked away with my $5000 deposit and several hundred poorer but happy to know I didnt purchase a piece of chit. dissappointed but I want to turn the key and fish not wait till the dam things worked on. Ok plan B. runabout fot this season Next year or following year I get a better boat. :roll:

Thanks to T- bone Alvarez for the advice and happy birhday. Just have to book a trip aboard his "platinos" :P saltshaker.
