Wet Rat, I think I'd "snooze" on that one. It may be a nice boat and may be in perfect shape, but if the seller isn't willing to talk to you about it it means 2 things to me. Either he doesn't want to sell it and the wife or something else is forcing it, or there is actually something wrong with it and he doesn't want to disclose it. It could be either one for all any of us knows. There have been people who have said they know him and he's a good guy, but as a buyer spending a lot of money, you need the seller to inspire some confidence in the purchase. I bought my 24 sight unseen from Lake George because the owner sent as many pics as I wanted, talked to me clearly about everything and was generally as helpful as he could have been to make the sale go smoothly. I got a great boat for a great price! When making a major purchase, you want to feel right about it. If you don't, walk away no matter how much you like it or think it is a good deal. There are always others.

Well said Jayhawk.....

Thanks Krak, I put my "grown-up" hat on every once in a while and even sound a little responsible Now it's time to go to the lake and act like kid!!

Jayhawk, all wrong. I know Dave and he does have a comfortable life style. His people skills do suck. I have seen that boat run many times and it just fine, I do not think he ever had it over 3500 RPMS. He has a few boats that he uses and the Y2K no longer fit his needs. So a far as any speculation on the boat being in bad shape, put that to rest. Thanks Gary.

Jayhawk--I totally agree with you and buyer comfort. He won't povide further pics, he won't answer questions via email although I get PLENTY of long winded emails detailing how I should buy a boat and what I should use a boat for. I finally got tired of being preached to rather then receiving answers to what I am asking so I told him I would be looking elsewhere.

Superbabi--nothing personal to Dave but he needs to aquire a broker or rep to sell his boat, no matter how many he has or the shape it's in, people ask questions for a reason, not to be told, "you just need to come to NJ."

He's a high class guy

Good luck...you would never have bought this boat anyway.....nor will you ever pay $42,000 for anything....that is obvious.....you are no different than all the other shmocks who have no bread and want to go fast

Anyone considering purchase of this boat go somewhere else....this guy is a total *****

wet rat, what ever you may do in so far as buying a boat, do your self a favor and get a ride in a Y2K, its one AWESOME RIDE !!!! I really could care less if you buy Daves Y2K or another, just trying to help.

I'm not sure what I'm wrong about Superbabi. What I said was that if someone who's trying to sell something acts the way described, I get 2 ideas in my head. Now I could be wrong about the 2 ideas, but the fact that those come to mind means the guy selling the boat is doing something very wrong. For SOME reason the seller isn't terribly interested in selling the boat. About that I am right because if he REALLY wanted to sell the boat, he would do what it takes to sell it. I'm not talking about giving it away, but simply helping the prospective buyer be comfortable about the sale. It is clear that in Rat's case the seller has no interest whatsoever in helping him find out what he needs to know. Wealthy or not, has this person lost touch with reality so far that he believes everyone is beneath him and should just listen to what he says? Sounds like a bad deal to me. And, if the e-mail Rat posted by this guy is the truth, it is apparent he thinks very little of others in the boating world. I am not a wealthy guy, but one who doesn't mind spending a little hard earned money on a toy. This guy sounds like a real peach to send an e-mail like that in response to requests for info. Sorry Superbabi, he may be a nice guy to some, but it seems to me that he believes himself better than many others. I'm not trying to bash your bud, just calling how I see it.

Jay Hawk, as I said his people skills suck, thats just the type of person he is. That being said, if you can get through his B.S. its a nice easy used Y2K. for anyone who is interested. There is nothing in it for me, I only want to see some one step up to a Y2K who can enjoy the boat.

wet rat, if the boat is what u want and you can get past this guys arrogance/ignorance, have a local OSO bro check out the boat for you and take lots of pics. just my $0.02.

btw, when i sold my boat, i emailed lots of detailed, requested photos within minutes of being asked.
buyer never came to see it, just sent $.
He did love the boat upon delivery.
but then again... i'm in sales for a living.
