Proceed with caution on this boat:

http://www.offshoreonly.com/classifi...o36398-en.html

http://www.crankyape.com/default.asp...1&submit=Go%21

It is not advertised as was described to me by the seller. LONG story.

1. I was told by the current seller the boat had been underwater.
2. I believe those hours are deceiving and not original.

With a full survey, the boat may check out ok, but I cannot confirm this. For that price, you better get a lifetime supply of reach-arounds.

Just looking out for other potential buyers.

Is this the boat you were looking at when you and I spoke about on the phone?

It looks pretty clean in the pics. What did you find out that makes you think otherwise?

it sank at Bass Lake northwest of Fresno. keytime tracked down the owners it got repo'ed from, local people, and shops around the boats home lake.
the old owners left the boat tied to their dock, left on sunday, came back on friday and it's under water.

the current seller was one of the first to tell john about it sinking, and that the hours were not right. jack said it was a training boat by wellcraft before it was titled by the first owners. so if he tells anybody anything different you know where his honesty is, he's also going to more than double his money at this selling price....

I don't see this boat listed at Pacific Marine Center in Fresno, CA. Anyone know who may have bought it? Just wondering if they were told the entire story with it. Thanks.

Update on this boat.

I found out recently that Dominic near Ft Worth, TX bought it in June 2014 and is happy with it. Very glad to hear this!

It's a shame that I was misled by a "crafty" salesman for his own gain, but it's more important that the next owner didn't get burned on the boat. Congrats to Jack for turning a helluva profit! "By any means necessary!"

Dominic, get that ride up here to LOTO for the Shootout and hit the course!
