Hope she gets well soon! <br /><br />On the seller "not allowing you to view the boat on the hard"<br />That is like telling a bus buyer "sure you can inspect it, but no you can't put it over a pit or on a lift!"<br />Steer clear of that one for sure! <br />Even if there is nothing significantly wrong with the boat itself, there definitely is with the seller. (wouldn't trust 'm far as I could throw 'm!)<br /><br />Good luck and best wishes as always! <br />BryceBryce Gastonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08153330819795257731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6208406.post-60788386884755571332012-05-19T11:59:35.029-04:002012-05-19T11:59:35.029-04:00@Anonymous:

What is the name of that service??? we're moving into an RV and thats one clutter I'd like to take care of.

It often happens to me, where I just can't make up my mind because I begin to see all negatives and not the many positives. And I understand that these little toys come with really big price tags that can amount to a tidy percentage of ones net worth. So again it is best to get it right.... There may not be a second chance to correct things for a number of years while finances repair themselves. <br /><br />So don't take me too seriously, I am not being critical, but rather wondered if things were turning into a blur rather than a clear light...... Best of wishes to the end, and I can't wait to read the blogs that will come from all the intercoastal travel and beyond!!<br /><br />RodRod Ivers https://www.blogger.com/profile/11622769861928590585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6208406.post-21653793259492012742012-05-18T22:39:06.435-04:002012-05-18T22:39:06.435-04:00A survey includes looking at the vessel on the har...A survey includes looking at the vessel on the hard as well as a sea trial.<br /><br />If he doesn't want you to look then I agree with you that he must be hiding something.<br /><br />Hang in there.<br /><br />Bill Kelleher<br />46' BertramBill Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00912599099774634267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6208406.post-71676168892479311422012-05-18T18:59:39.692-04:002012-05-18T18:59:39.692-04:00@Rod: I disagree.

That is decidedly not where we are at. We understand that every boat is a compromise, and we know exactly what compromises we are and are not willing to make. We are instead at a point where we are ready to agree to a number of compromises, and at any moment a boat is going to come along within those boundaries that "speaks to us" -- an important though perhaps less rational part of the decision-making process.<br /><br />It's a significant amount of money, so it is not at all comparable to, say, buying a car. We don't want to "plunge" into anything at these numbers, because mistakes can be costly.<br /><br />We have a number of "front runners," by the way, and some boats we've dismissed as suitable but overpriced. But I can't get into any specifics in the blog, because even boat brokers are reading it, and I don't want to compromise our ability to negotiate.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17930398671280529448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6208406.post-40723468806646316752012-05-18T13:43:01.635-04:002012-05-18T13:43:01.635-04:00You folks are in the middle of analysis paralysis,...You folks are in the middle of analysis paralysis, meaning that you have looked at so many that you can't keep it all straight any more. I do the same thing when trying to decide on something. But I have come to the conclusion that there is nothing that will fit us perfectly and that we just have to decide to make the plunge and do it... Perhaps that will be where you find yourselves in the near future.... Just an observation........ and perhaps a bit of opinion sprinkled in.....
