I'd resurrect the deal, apologize profusely for any stuffing around and send him another cheque for the full amount. Then run down to your bank and close the account immediately. Get him excited, p!ss him of and you get the last laugh.

The 47' is probably a nicer boat anyway, good luck.

A Cig owner going to buy a Fountain for the rough waters of lake MI?

You do know that 47 is the same length as your 38 and will ride worst right?:whistle:

I live in Apollo Beach and would be happy to do anything I can to help you out .

Thank you Dave !! Got lots of pictures this morning.
The power of OSO is strong :D

That sucks dude. I'll be down there in a couple weeks.

And.....how does she look?

Did you keep the deposit of the guy that was supposed to buy yours? I can see both ways on his end IMO. Only way I would return a deposit is if it didn't pass survey or something along those lines.

That sucks about deposit, but am I alone in thinking why even bother with a deposit in lieu of the crap like guys keeping it?
It's a used boat, one calls the guy, arrange a time to meet to look or arrange to have it inspected by a third party, if it passes muster hook up to it, exchange the funds and roll on.
If he sells it before you get to it oh well, just have to entertain one of the other 1000 on the market.
I'm sure deposits have been sent, boats got sold out from under depositor, and still haven't got their deposit back. I dunno, SMH

Buy Baronmarines 40ss. That thing is immaculate and priced right . It needs NOTHING.


And it has not spent years in battery acid saltwater.

Your Crazy buying some old saltwater boat, 1 in a thousand the thing isn't going to have saltwater related problems.

I don't even take deposits. If you want the boat come buy it, if not bye bye. Most people that keep deposits on principle suck IMO.
