I saw this boat on Ebay, I've been trying to get one for a
while, do you guys recommend that?

Has anyone bought a boat off Ebay before.

Thanks

Others have given lots of good comments on the specific ad. To answer
your other question, I did buy my boat off of ebay. It was quite a bit
less expensive though. It was a 1995 19 ft cuddy with a 3.7 Alpha 1 at
$4,000. It was clearly stipulated by me in advance that the
transaction was dependent upon my inspection. I had to drive from
Pittsburgh to Cleveland to look at it and do the deal. It was in great
condition, better than I had expected. Checked it out and went to his
bank to do the transaction and brought it home. Previously I had
purchased a fairly new Seadoo off Ebay with a similar understanding
and a similar experience except I had to drive to New Jersy that time
and paid more for it than for the boat ;-) Two good experiences buying
for significantly below NADA. Others I am sure will be able to give
you horror stories.
