Backstory - I thought I had the boat I was looking for in Omaha which is about a six hour ride. Everything checked out, one owner, great story, superb maintenance. I arrive and everything looks great. Get the boat on the water and it would not start. I believe it was a bad fuel pump, but I have not heard back from the seller - so who knows?

After that, I was going to be in the Dallas area. Prior to making the trip I find a second boat in the Frisco area. I have my brother (he lives near Frisco) check it ahead of time and everything seems good to go. I drive to Dallas and by happenstance I find an add of a very similar boat; in fact, the same boat. Details of the two classifieds do not align and I start asking questions until the owner admits that he may have made most of story up. Of course, I got in my car and never looked back.

Bottom line - I am nervous to get in my car and drive too far to only be let down (My wife isn't a fan of my boat buying adventures). I think it was bad luck in Omaha and I think I just got bamboozled in Frisco....
