Well I'm going crazy!!! I'm looking for a first boat, I the last 2 weeks I found a 1994 24' baja outlaw on boattrader for 12,000.00 needed motor work. Great boat. I was the first call, Problem was I had to check on a loan, in the mean time some one charged it on a charge card. That was with in 24hrs of listing. // Now today there was a 1997 VIP Vindicator 24' it was also cheep, It was a e-bay find I was pre-approved for a loan and waiting for 7pm tonight to buy, when I left for work I was the high bidder, I look once during work and It said auction ended. I called the guy he said some one gave him asking price. This was after we had talked 10 times. I would payed much more then he got!! Well let me know if any one has a boat in the 10,000-13,000 range.

Try calling the owner of the VIP and offer him more than the other clown is paying... he dumped the auction so ethics are out the window.

if you are going to do a loan, why not look in the 20k range? wont make your payment that much higher, and you will do alot less wrenching in the long run.
