If this was 1 or 2 years down the road we could talk. If you saw my post on the boating board about outrageous boat prices this is a pretty good deal in my opininon, a good quality used Reg w/ new power at a reasonable price in today's world. I want to upgrade to a larger CC w/ twins, but just am not quite in the position to do it yet. How are Verdados? I know a guy in the VMRC and he says their boats are always in the shop w/ engine issues. However he is the only person that I have heard anything negative about the Mercs. Nice boat!
A guy came and looked at the boat on Sunday and made an offer that I accepted. He already has insurance on the boat and will be bringing me the funds tommorow. I dont want to get ahead of myself and say that I have her sold but it is looking that way. I will update the thread tommorow.
