You're welcome.....I bid it up another $550 for you today. I did not want to see it go for the $4150 price it was stuck on this morning. Just too far away for me to buy. Good luck.

It went for $4700. good deal for someone.

looks like you might have done more than just bid it up...looks like you might have bought it! 4150+550= 4700?

And I thought I was a Scot.

Naw....the buyer's bid was there before mine went in, that was pretty much my limit. I was going to go to $5000 but after thinking about the cost of getting it to Florida and buying "sight unseen" I changed my mind.

Yes, it is a good deal for someone. I hope the boat is well cared for and I will direct the new owner here as I'm sure he could benefit from the resource.

Man, did he get a deal or what? I toyed with buying it just for the trailer and part out what I didn't want. That radar arch/bimini looked SWEET!

Ironically, the price that the boat and trailer sold for is almost exactly what I paid for the arch, bimini, and outrigger package before tax. I've noticed that when I've bought things for my boat, I sometimes have a internal conversation, however brief, about getting it back someday when the boat is sold. Selling a boat in this market has been an exercise in confirming once again how useless my internal conversations are.

Yeah, I find myself talking to my other self about boat economics more often than I like. Sometimes, when really alert, I catch myself and excuse myself from such useless and pointless banter

Hopefully someone here on csc got the lucky score on your ol' RedEye. Maybe John123 saved it for his son ... be a pretty sight seeing 2 kick-ass red Tsceptres going bendo on salmon, striper or tuna somewhere.

Good luck with your private conversations and your next boat

Not to worry.......in my case when I'm done talking to myself the wife will take over and bust my chops. I try not to stay too alert.
