Re: My Larry Smith Scarab is SOLD
 

Yea... that is one awsome boat.

Where is she headed?

Re: My Larry Smith Scarab is SOLD
 

New home base is Ventura, CA.

Actually had 2 buyers at the same time. Made verbal commitment to buyer #1 but thought he had flaked since he didn't call back when I thought he was supposed to. So after a week I then made a verbal deal with buyer #2. But today buyer #1 showed up with cashiers check and towed it away. Now I have to tell buyer #2 that the boat is sold despite us having a verbal agreement. Buyer #1 claimed that I had made a verbal committment to him prior to making a verbal agreement with buyer #2. What a crazy deal. Does that make any sense? I tried to do the ethical thing but still don't feel right.

Can't give it away a month ago and now got people begging for it. I thought the holidays were a bad time to sell boats?...

Re: My Larry Smith Scarab is SOLD
 

Coming to Ventura!!?? That's my neck of the woods! I can count the offshore boats on two hands in this area. Who's the buyer?? Looks like we'll be running with a new boat soon :D Even though most are Cigs up here now-a-days. :cool:

And congrats on the sell. It's always nice to buy and sell as the saying goes.

By the way...It'll be a home coming for that boat it was most likely built in Ventura. That is where Team Larry Smith Scarab was based in the 80's.

Congrats Jody! Tell buyer # 2 about my Powerplay...maybe he'll be interested in it. Happy holidays.

That is one awesome boat...a true old school badass rig!

What's it's replacement?

Re: My Larry Smith Scarab is SOLD
 

no one scooped up that bad azz pp yet?

Re: My Larry Smith Scarab is SOLD
 

Been in sales for over 20 yrs...alot of this cant get rid of something, sits forever, not even a glance....then you have customers fighting over it.

Human behavior and the location of planets to stars :et:

I bet the 2nd buyer wouldn't feel bad if he decided that he changed his mind - not to purchase - and left you hanging after you blew off 1st buyer. :D

Take a break, there will always be more boats to buy later on.

Re: My Larry Smith Scarab is SOLD
 

Holiday bonus time???

Re: My Larry Smith Scarab is SOLD
 

Not yet :(

Re: My Larry Smith Scarab is SOLD
 

I looked at Jodys boat last year it was one bad MF. I would have bought it but I didn't want to take it to far out of it's environmant :D . The new owner should be thrilled to death with it thats one hell of a boat ! Congrads to the new owner they don't make them like that anymore.

You're gonna really miss that one. :(

Re: My Larry Smith Scarab is SOLD
 

Your boat was one of my all-time favorites...congratulations on the sale!

Re: My Larry Smith Scarab is SOLD
 

Congratulations... I guess???

Jody-
I've been hung out too many times to even think of protecting someone's interest on a deal. The golden rule "Money talks, Bull$hit walks" should be repeated loudly and often when selling something, especially when a large sum is at stake.

Re: My Larry Smith Scarab is SOLD
 

jody what r u buying next? :D

Re: My Larry Smith Scarab is SOLD
 

I will eventually have to get something that the little ones can ride around in. So it will hopefully be a stock engine, standard cockpit offshore boat, not a Sea Ray but you never know...

Re: My Larry Smith Scarab is SOLD
 

Classy Post Jesse James ,,, You have earned my respect!!!
