My timing is crappy!

[magster65]

Figures! A beautiful 24' Sundancer has come up for sale and of course, I went out a couple weeks back and bought a 23' Baja as a 'in the mean time' boat. So the Sea Ray has an offer on it but the broker, a friend, has told me he doesn't think it'll be accepted. It only came up a couple days ago. It's more money then I wanted to spend... almost silly (I still have a mortgage), I'll still have to find a (likely expensive) trailer and I'd have to sell the Baja on short notice. If the other offer is turned down I'll have to make mine immediately. I'll be using a line of credit to pay for 1/2 of it until the other boat sells. <br />Would you just do it?<br />Would you think that it wasn't meant to be because of the crappy timing?<br />Let's hear it <br />Thanks<br /><br />Magster, post the picture and specifications if you wish but since iboats also sells boats you can't link directly to another boat dealer. Thanks<br />ok

How sure are ya you can get what you need to get for the Baja?

Oh... 90% certain I guess. There's only one place to advertise around here that gets results and the next issue doesn't come out for a few more weeks. It'd be an impressive looking yard for a while <br />We’d be eating Kraft dinner and drinking water in the mean time!

I'm having the same problem. I was going to keep my boat through the end of this season, and now I got a guy waving a much nicer boat in my face. I've got two weeks to get rid of the current POS...I'm out there frantically cleaning, buffing, and trying to get it to start.

<br />Yes, I know... this seemed more of a financial/lack of wisdom/splurge/impulse buy type of question/topic. I don't have any questions about the boat. <br />So he was right, I got the call... the offer wasn't accepted so it's a go if I want. He hinted that after watching the last deal fall through the owner would likely accept 10% less than the asking price but no less. We just came back from looking at it again. It's a beauty. I'm in love... I'm going for it! There were 2 other couples looking at it tonight so I think I should make my offer first thing tomorrow. Forget sound financial planning... I need that boat! <br />You only live once.<br /><br />QC - Is there water below the cliff?

Of course there is, that's why you need the boat silly . . .

Been through the same thing last week with 28' Cougar Cat Hard Top - I procrastinated too long and missed out. It was a steal down from $69 to $48 and the Broker said make an offer of $40 and you will get it. Seller wants out.<br />Wife said yes, I said I would think about it.<br />Went back 4 days later to buy and it was sold, up on hard stand undergoing Survey.<br /><br />You'r the man with the money in the pocket, so go for the best deal possible, because they are out there, just don't do what I did.<br />

<br />Cheers<br />Phillip
