Fishing Chit Chat Thread, 10 tips on buying a boat in Fishing Related; A "BUDDY" OF MINE IS BUYING HIS FIRST BOAT, WHAT WOULD BE THE TOP 10 TIPS YOU COULD SUGGEST BEFORE ...
New or used...either way take someone that own's a boat to look at it. Boat owner look for stuff that your friend may never think of....I would be happy to help look at one.
Ali is definately the last person to try to get over on someone.....anything & everything that he has done or happened with the boat i'm sure Stan knows....Ali doesn't even want to sell her but he wants a bigger one.
Thanks for the post Bobby, if I was going for another boat I'd have posted about the same.
Ali showed me every upgrade and repair done to the GG. And this boat was highly recomended by every person I talked with.
A no brainer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, I'm guilty. I know the boat is tits as is, I talked with him and heard about it, but just think it is a good to be informed befor you buy anything...no disrespect or anything Ali. I know that it took a few costly mistakes before I got the boat I wanted (boat #6)...now I want another. Maybe the list could be for other buyers. BP
I totally understand. Getting a boat with surprises sucks! The guy I bought this boat from was the wire nut king. All kinds of nasty shit under the dash.
Stan came over and climbed on the Gato yesterday.
We started at the back and worked to the front as I went over all the work I have done.
Once you see the boat you'll understand. There really isn't anything as it's a sealed hull. I've re-wired and re-pumped the entire thing.
If it breaks on him now, my concience is clear.
I'd hate to loose a friend and make an enemy over a stoopid boat.
I still plan on having many more good times on that boat.
