as a community, we need to call these people out! Not do business with them, and make sure they don't rip anyone else off. Florida has long been known for shady boat business practices, does anyone in our forum remember the state entity the governs and monitors the marine industry there?

What, You could nt water test it ? Wow, I say this because of the marketing ads posted about it.
heck the ad bragged about bring your mechanic because he will no be disappointed. Plus other things in the ad pointed to making like the boat was lake ready - turn key 100 %. I was serious about looking at the boat as well, but passed. The main reason in the back of mind as always A SOUTH FLORIDA BOAT and do not buy anything coming from there point blank. Miami is the worse for hacked up cob job used boats and used engines.

Another FLA highway robber!
Whenever any boat im interested in is in FLA, I turn the other cheek. It sucks because there is so many boats down there, But the fact that they can boat for 12 mo out of the year and its mainly salt water boating, really scares me. I really feel for Mike as he has done so much for so many. But I AM surprised he put that much trust in ANYONE. 30K is not a small #.....
