Beware of people who offer to sell boats where the owner lives in another
country. Give him your check and you may find this 'intermediary' disappears
without trace with your money and you never get title to the boat.

Joe should make some money, though probably not 40K. Her deck will be
someone elses problem to underestimate.

Indeed "AS IS". is how I will sell her.

Still it's a sweet boat, I wonder why they did not install aluminum
decks?

The boat is owned by a guy who crewed for Dennis Conner. (so the rumor
goes)

But the story may be to good to be true. I went to the guy with check
in hand, and he said he had to re-check with the owner in England. That
was two days ago and I have not heard anything back yet.

Good advice but I doubt Joe is that dumb. I'm sure he wouldn't hand over a check without papers
and boat in hand... On the other hand, it's unlikely Joe's check are written on a valid account in
the first place.

The middle man has had a boat repair biz here in the marina for about
5 yrs now, I do not think he will dis-appear. More likely to buy the
boat himself, or try to add on an extra 5-10 K for the phone call. If
so I'll let him keep it. The owner has him watching the boat, and since
i stirred up interest... he might move to buy it himself since he will
not get paid to babysit anymore.
