Default Get permission first!!!!!! haha

How many of you have heard.... "let me ask the wife (boss) and I'll get back to you....

Twice now I've had two guys who are seemingly very interested in my boat... certainly talking the talk..even talking about transportation of the boat. But when all the questions have been answered I get the.... "wife doesn't like the color" or "wife is happy with our current boat".

Guys who need to get the wife's nod.. do it before you put the seller through the paces...!!!!!!!!! Man it sucks

You guys must not be married!
If momma ain't happy then nobodies happy....
Wives can sure harpoon a deal, so try selling her on it first.

" so try selling her on it first."

Good point; meet with the wife first in private. If things go well then you are now safe to get the man involved! LOL

I used to love to buy stuff when my girl was out of town, and have it sitting in the driveway when she came home. Did it with a street bike, a small skater, and a new Benz ( that was for her). Lol. It is easier to ask for forgiveness then permission.
