Anyone in N. Chicago - quick look at a boat for me?
 
I am looking at a boat at Shogren - used - and am looking to see if I can get a third-party, unbiased opinion from someone not tied to the deal. Anyone here that can handle that - I just want a quick, "yeah, it shows in person as it does in the photos and the hours match" kinda thing, take maybe 10-15 min., max? Let me know and I'll PM you the details.

BTW, I'll hook up the willing party with some Suspenders / Extenders to outfit your boat accordingly for your trouble! :D

Thanks,
Mark

Im sure somone from the Chicago area will accomodate you. But if Scott, Greg, and Bruce say its in a certain condition, its been my experience that they dont misrepresent anything about the deal.

I was just there and crawled in and out of several boats checking them out. Which boat are you looking at? pm me if I can answer anything for you. As everyone said, Scott was as straight forward as I have seen, telling me things wrong with a few of the boats that I would not have found without a survey. Saves me time and him hassles, great way to do business in my opinion. Several sweet boats there and I think several very well priced boats that I was looking at. Hammer

10 x (Frank), Bob, and a zillion other guys from the Chicago club will help you, Shogren is a good friend to the club and is a great dealer, rest asured they will stand behind what ever you buy. Lucky the boat you are interested in is Chicago cause you will get a lot of help, and maybe you will even want to bring it back and boat in Lake MI.

Wow - You guys (and gals ;o) rock! Sorry for the delay I posted this then had to go bail out a buddy with a blown water heater, anyway... Thanks for the offers - Frank, since you are going there anyway, if you'd take a look for me, I'd much appreciate it - I'll call you in a few and fill you in on the details. :cool:

Ummmm - :D

I'd rather not say just yet, until I can (try and) close it. Or the wheels just fall of the wagon all-together and I'm left dejected and back on the hunt ;)

Thanks again Bob for offering to go and take a look for me.

I saw this rig last friday bz, our mutual buddy dennis said that the walls in that boat could probaby tell some good stories. He thinks this summer that you are definitely going to have to paint more pretty ladies in the boat or you are going to have to change the name to the "sausage fest". Of course, he did not volunteer to donate any of his friends of the female sorts. hammer
