Title: Be on the lookout
Post by: chrisheile on July 12, 2010, 08:02:57 PM

My neighbor's IO finally bit the dust.  We are looking for a direct drive, open bow in for less than $14,000 Will travel two states away from PA.  Thanks.  It's a good family, lots of grandchildren from 17 down to 4 years old.  17 year old is one of my best drivers.

They got it!!  Very nice. 350 hours, garage kept, never left in water.  Guy was more fanatical about details than I am.

I told his grandmother that this will be the last boat she has to buy.  She said "Oh this is definately the last boat I am going to buy."

The good news is that it came with a bunch of stuff, mostly good, some just ok, but anyway, I offered to buy the boom and 2 barefoot suits.  She insisted that I take them for helping them out in their quest for the right boat.

That's awesome. I need to get a barefoot suit one of these days, last time I footed I had a bruised ass for a week.
