We shall see what happens from here?
 
Don't give up on ebay MJ, I bid on mine with less than 1 minute left, could be someone waitting til the last seconds.
 
That's right MJ. Many people wait till the end to bid on items. Everybody wants to play their cards close, so that nobody knows what they're thinking or planning to do. The only problem with that approach is that sometimes reserves won't be met because not enough bidders bid to get it that high.

I don't mean to preach, but a Proverb that oftentimes gives me perspective on things like this says, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths (Proverbs 3:5-6)."

One more: Proverbs 16:9 A man's heart plans his way, but the LORD directs his steps.

There is comfort to be found in knowing that these things are not in our control. Do the best you can to sell your boat and if it's the Lord's will, it will certainly happen. If not, there's a reason for it and perhaps we'll never know the reason.

Worst case scenario is that you end up with your trusty V and you try to sell her again later. At least you have your boat and she's in good running order.

Hang in there buddy.
 
Here's a nice one right up your alley MJ, but he's a bit out of his mind on his price I think.

Thanks Therm!!

I am hooked on a Formula or Seacraft!! Thats all I am looking at now!

I love that one in Keylargo but man is that far away!!! I can't see me having enough time off work to go get it, and the price of shipping be $2K or better and I can find a motor for that!

That would break the bank and I have to wait a year or better before I could look for a motor. ???

well we will see what happens?
 
Macojoe, I have a 1985 Formula 20'Sunsport I might be interested in selling. It currently has a 265 h.p. mercruiser that was used in salt water only once for about a week. It would make an awesome fishing boat with a bracket/outboard on it. Very high freeboard. Very solid boat. It has a huge cabin for a 20' boat. It sits on a 1985 Shorelander trailer. Boat is in great shape with exception of interior. Any interest?
 
Sounds great nipper!

But they are small compared to are V20's and I need room and deep water boat!

I commercial fish and would like to be able to go offshore in comfort again!

Thanks any way!

Therm 200 ponys!! Speak to me!!@
 
knowing your search is down to Formula's and SeaCrafts should make it easier to find, keep looking. Me personally, after having fished both boats, I prefer the SeaCraft, especially in an outboard configuration. remember when you're searching for Sea Crafts, type it in both ways" SeaCraft, & Sea Craft.

BTW, did you see the 25 Whitewater on Classic Seacraft, interesting boat.
 
Thanks guys!!

Not to much for sale on that site? Guess cause $25 is needed to do so.

Well I would love to go get that FL boat in Key's and stop by skools or spares and grab at least a 200HP !!


But I can't see how I could do it?? Shipping is the only way and thats $$$

But keep them coming!

I am going to look at that one in Arlington that Therm posted tomorrow. If I like I will go back this weekend for sea trial and hopefully find the money some were??

I have 3K and the guy wants $4400 B/O so you know $4K is going to be easy to get, But I am short $1K

Now there is away to get around this, I habve a friend that wants to buy my trailer for $1K and give me his old.

His trailer is road worthy and he uses every week to tow his 21 Contender, it needs a fender and maybe a few rollers but its fine!

So my thought is sell him the trailer and get the old one, sell my boat for $4K I still make out with the $5K I wanted and I can buy this boat this weekend and wait awhile for mine to sell.

How does that sound guys?? Of coarse thats if I like this boat.
 
The plan sounds good, except for the part of selling your boat for only $4,000.00 :o :o If you can sit on it for a wile, I still would not lower the price of yours, Unless oyu are selling it to me ;D(trust me, I have thought about it ;))
Good luck!!
 
Thanks Sean, But I have it advertised wqith the new trailer :o

So if i do this deal people are going to want to know what happened?? I have to find a good story for that?

I want $5K thats a good deal! so how I get it is no matter, so is I swap trailers and they are not to mad if I get $4k I will be happy!

My wife has no idea that I have cash on hand and unless I sell my boat I have to keep the new boat hidden at a friends till I swell mine :'(

Another good reason for the cheaper price cause I like tro fisah the fall run, so I have to get rid of it!!

Buy it wil ya!! $4K ;)
 
sounds a little sneaky to me hiding things from the wife and all :-/ ;D

but you gotta do what you gotta do.......

I just wish you would teach the rest of us how to hide $3000 from our wives ::)
