Default The Questions ..

As I have looked at boats, and also called about boats...

I have decided against some, distance/condition/price/ .. many reasons.

Thanks to all of you, I have been able to walk on .. and that is hard when
the boat looks free.

But as I spoke to a selling boat owner the other day, he in Florida, the
other coast
in Florida .. I got thinking .. it is a few hours drive across Florida,
and ..

So I stumbled as I started asking relevant questions..
hull/deck/hardware/life lines.. on and on.


Anybody selling a decent boat these days should have it available for view
on the Internet. There should be several pages to view and a dozen or more
photos showing it inside and out. It should list specs and equipment.
Personally, I wouldn't bother looking at a boat that an owner is so ashamed
of he doesn't create a for-sale website around her.

The only way to check out a boat is in person. Asking a bunch of questions
on the phone will be of little use. Silly females think a telephone is the
answer for everything.

At least if you choose potential boats from web pages you will have a pretty
good idea of what you're looking at. And take that stupid phone out of your
ear, girl.

Ixnay on the listsay!
