If you have $10K sitting around, and get a decent rate on 100% financing compared to 10% down, etc, I'd rather have that cash invested but available in case of the blown engine you mention.

Kiss my ass. you obviously don't understand what was going on. For your info. No wife to make a decision for me.

Ona-Mission, would you mind sharing what credit you're using? You're in MI right?

Thanks

50k speed boat range like me is IMO '' the poor guys speed boat category''

So financing needs specific things to support the loan. On a mission had financing done before buying but since document does not support the loan, paying the 10 or 20 k difference cash is not necessairly an easy task (at least for me). Maybe it's easier for someone buying multiple 100k boat. and I'm sure sometimes some of those multiple 100k boats are up to their own limit also in cash flow...

So I agree with his point in backing up, he probably simply does not have the choice because of the loaner...

HA HA! I would sell my Bullet for $59,900 today. It's a great boat and works perfectly. When I bought it in 2006 it surveyed for $72,000. But, two years and high gas prices have hurt the high-performance boating market. I don't know what it would survey for today.

Good luck!

Anyone that's seen the pics of it loaded with Claymates would probably pay over that.

Big-boss, I also understand your point. But you probably are ( I may be wrong on that) among those able to spend cash the extra 10 or 20k $ difference to think like that.

if that's the case, then I understand why you can see things on a different point of view...

did you just fall off the turnip truck? how many used boats have you bought and sold? agreeing on a price is only the beginning when negotiating the actual sale price. its only a starting point. a good survey is needed for financing, insurance and working out a fair price for the boat.

Thank you!! Guess I'm the "bulldog" Here is my side. Yep, it was my Bullet....he calls it a "Bullit" lol. Anyway, We had an agreed on price, which I'm sure he figured was a good deal. My problem was that I didn't get a contract signed at that point. Anyway, the surveyor looks at the boat, has never surveyed another Bullet, only one other Cig a TG several years ago. Apparently some calls were made and book calls for that range, which for most Bullets would cover it. But not this one, as many of you know. I offered to lower my price some to salvage the deal, but it was over. There aren't alot of Bullets out there and certainly none quite like mine. Several way more than mine in fact, so don't feel like mine was out range. I'm sorry that it got out of hand but I was the one who was insulted, so I wish him luck.

Thank you.... my fault for not have a contract signed after some negotiating for a selling price.
