Nice find Jake.
Racer- that Portland boat has been for sale for quite a while now. Dropped a few thousand since it was first posted. Be MORE THAN HAPPY to go scope it out for you!
That Portland one is nice. I am not sure how I could make the numbers work though. Shipping would be an easy $1,500.00+ Not sure I want to insult the poor guy if I tell him 22k since I gotta pay that much in shipping. What are your thoughts Berg? I actually found a decent Malibu but it is ugly orange which is why he can't sell it but it has all the bells & whistle as well. Not sure I wanna spend that much on a boat that is good & all but the family can't stand looking at it.Quote:

Don't be afraid about insulting the guy in OR. Send Berg out & he'll know your serious, then maybe he'll help make it work for you.
Racer that blows on the 2001 mob v getting sold out from under you. What comes around goes around!
where you located? I may have missed it early in the thread.
I am beautiful Colorado. I can understand getting sold out. But having a Bill of sale, paperwork into the bank the banker already expressing concern about me not seeing the boat first then when she asked for a photocopy of the title he texts me 4 hours later & says he sold it over lunch. So now not only do I not have the boat, I look like a moron to my banker who I am wondering if I should even bother trying another boat with or just cutting my losses.Quote:

Where in Colorado? I've done my share if road trips to Gunnison. Just curious how far from Oregon you are.
Guy seemed annoyed it was an out of state call to begin with but whatever. You know we kind of said 8-10 hours away and was hoping some would meet in the middle. What's the concensus on single axle trailers? Seems lots of lsv's have single axle trailers. I've always thought over 20 feet its dangerous on a sngl axle? Saw a 96 natique super sport with new motor all new interior loaded for 19k. Seemed kind of high for the year, but its actually kind of nice. Hate to pay taxes and fees but I'm starting to a dealer will be less hassle. Buying a boat site unseen is proving to be a real pain in the ass.
I'm in Denver. Gunnison pretty area. Maps say I am 1200 miles from Portland.
I've been talking to Vinnie with the 05. He said its been salt water 3 times. I've always read to run. His add says it has fresh water flush. Are two related? Orleans is far but I like his boat, in the pictures anyway.
I've been talking to the guy with the moomba in SF. Boat has no upgrades, no PP, no stereo, no ballast. I was gonna offer him 16, see I can get it for 16.5 or 17k. You think that is too low or realistic?Quote:

Why don't you start a new thread in the classifieds that is a Wanted To Buy (WTB) and list out what you're looking for. Year, model, options, price and distance from home. Not only might folks who are looking to sell find you, but the guys here might be better able to help you out.
Well yeah, not only are we a motocross racing family, I am a deal seaker & am flexible on options depending on the boat. I don't mind installing PP, a stereo, ballast as well as I don't mind paying more for a boat with all those things. Travel for the right deal becomes fun as well.Quote:

I don't like the thought of a boat that has been in salt water. You just never know how well it was cleaned up and the problems is caused can escalate.
I like the LSV on a dual, but plenty of folks carry it on a single. Sort of depends on your storage situation. If you're going to have to muscle it around in your garage, I'd go single. Otherwise, try and find a double.
by time you buy a base boat and add all these options (plus some I'm sure your not thinking of right now) you might as well buy Brandos for 30k.Quote:
