Jim.... Didn't you sell that cat yet? What PQ did you have? Look I think I got the capital thing down, but it took my 5 times longer to post. :D

Also, if dealing with Ducky's just be sure you want the boat before you put down a deposit. We learned the hard way, after being pressured into putting a down payment of $2000.00, "the boat may sell if you don't", yada yada. Well, we changed our mind, they wouldn't return deposit. We had to hire a lawyer, lets just say that was a expensive lesson learned.
This was over four years ago though, so maybe it was a one time thing... :confused:

DON'T DEAL WITH DUCKY'S!!! They are very nice BUT they do NOT support their buyers after the sale is complete. TRUST ME!

There are three other buyers from them in my area and we have all had some issues with them. AVOID, AVOID, AVOID.

That's my advice.

NOT THAT I DON'T APPRECIATE ADVICE, BUT I MADE A VERY LOW OFFER ON A BOAT THAT HAS EVERY THING I WANT AND THEY NEED TO SELL. I TALKED TO PQ AND THEY ASSURED ME IF DUCKY'S DIDN'T STAND UP IN A SITUATION THEY WOULD. BESIDES THAT THERE ARE NO OTHER DEALERS ANYWHERE CLOSE OR ANY THAT HAVE THE BOAT I WANT. I AM A BIT SCARED BUT NOT MANY CHOICES. :confused:

Tell us about the boat you have an offer in? HO's or 500EFI's

You'll be OK.
Duckys has been OK with me. A little slow to respond, but overall they're ok.

THE BOAT IS A 2001 AVENGER W/496'S. LATHAM STEERING, K PLANES, COMPETITION PACKAGE, HEAT/AC, TV/VCR/ WEEKEND PACKAGE, BIMMINI TOP, PRESSURE WATER, TRANSOM SHOWER, AND INDY GRAPHICS. NO HOT WATER BUT THEY ARE ADDING THAT AND A SHOWER. IT'S SITTING ON AN ALUMINUM TRAILER. VERY NICE BOAT AND KEEPS THE WIFE HAPPY....NOT QUITE A CRUISER BUT IT'LL DO SHE SAYS. ABOUT THE ONLY THING NOT IN IT IS POWER BOLSTER, AND THAT'S NOT A BIG DEAL TO ME! THANKS FOR SOME POSSITIVE INPUT ON DUCKY'S. I DON'T INTEND TO USE THEM EXCEPT FOR WARRANTY WORK. EXTREME OFFSHORE IN HAVRE'DE GRACE MD WILL BE DOING ALL SERVICE WORK.

TTREMELLEN - you have mail.

BE Careful!!!! That's all I can tell you. The people at Ducky's are VERY nice but I am not confident that they conduct business in the most ethical manner. If you want more details email me.

Check out J+J Marine the're a Powerquest dealer in Ohio. I was just at the Cleveland boat show and they have a 02 38Avenger with HP500's loaded up with all the good stuff.
