. If anybody else knows anything about this boat, I would love to hear it. Thanks

I believe they should be picking it up today. It was a repo boat that has been neglected for a while. The survey came back ok. They said the trailer wasn't road worthy so I took their word for it and didn't take it. It did look like crap in the photos, but who knows? Maybe Grande wanted to keep it for themselves.

Haha, that's what I was told. The broker said they would have to pay somebody to haul that thing away.

Still wasn't able to have that thing picked up. Grande Yachts is apparently having a boat show or something and are too busy to deal with my boat. So, looks like Wednesday will be the day.

I looked at that one as well, but i ended up with a different boat. mine needs a lot of work as well. I really liked the windshield your boat has, you dont see a lot like that. I think it changes the look of the whole boat. congrats and good luck with the project. looking forward to more pics.

Thanks Bowtie. They finally got her picked up on Wednesday. She is getting cleaned and prepped for shipping as we speak and should be on her way to port on Monday or Tuesday. From there it will be close to 2 months before I can see exactly what I bought and where to start.
