Great Pictures! I am going to find out if the boat is on consignment. If it is I will try to contact the owner directly. Either way I will listen to the 1 owner story again with a folder under my arm, and when I open the engine hatch, I will pull out the pics and compare the #s. We'll see if I get a little leverage that way. The salesman is fixated on the $7K trailor so maybe I'll offer 7K less and drive it home down the Cumberland, dry store it at Old Hickory, then buy a local trailor from a desperate dealer.

You are there, i.e. the folder under my arm. I would not have the opportunity to be there without you. I appreciate you man.It will probably be a couple weeks before I get back up there, but in the mean time I am trying to give him enough rope to hang himself via email. I 'll call you and give the details this weekend or soon there after.
P.S. he emailed me today, email titled '97 SCR. I will try to convince him that decals alone will cost me $1K. He thinks I am a collector, I woulden't change decals if my life depended on it. I happen to like this SCrS decals. Do you still have any info on the previous owners?

I am trying. I can put a good down payment on it, but can't pay for it in cash right now. Since the boat is not listed in NADA, it is difficult to get financing, especially in todays market. I need to be creative and try to get the price down as much as possible. Besides, he is doesn't know what he is selling and is aware that I do know what he is selling, yet he is still trying to BS me.

This is the boat I want. I just don't have all the cash in hand. I can liquidate a few things, but would rather finance a portion of the boat. That being said, I agree with you on the value. Now I need my Credit Union to agree with me. Once that is done the seller and I can agree on a price. In the meantime I am trying to gather as much info as I can to negotiate with both my lender and the seller.
