So - was it right for you? I guess it depends on how soon you can get $3800
worth of enjoyment out of it.

At the boat shop where I hang out on occasion, last summer they had a
spate of eBay boats come through - older, no longer made models and
every one of them had a major problem - whether it was transom,
floors, engine, stringers, etc.

Oddly, every one sold for around $3,000 and every one was bid up a the
last minute.

I don't buy from eBay anymore because of that - people get their
friends to bid and start a bidding frenzy - happens more often than
not.

eBay is a joke.
