it was a pleasure to talk with you this afternoon. you gave me a lot
of insight on the boat in question. and I DO MEAN QUESTION! When I said it was a 1994 "Bass Tracker" you took it that I meant "Tracker" and asked me if it was welded or riveted. I thought hmmm maybe he's talking about the engine support or something like that. annd I had previously mentioned that the "gel coat" was fine and not hazy or blotchy. PLUS this has a 150 hp Yamaha, and you said that's an odd engine for that boat. Again I said the guy told me he had "ordered" it that was, and I could tell you still had some puzzled thoughts but obviously giving the benefit of the doubt. OK, Tom, you really didn't pick up on the means of the conversation, but I did. after a bit of thought, I had a feeling that something wasn't right, so I went to Trackers site, and iBoats , went to 1994 and looked at the boats and options. NO WAY WAS THIS CRAFT A TRACKER! From the best I can tell, this unknown thing is a "Skeeter" or san older "Ski 'n Fin" or something like that. It IS fiberglass, and doesn't resemble anything that Tracker ever made. I don't know this guy personally, and I don't know the boat because it's over in a town 18 mi. away. Granted, I did go look at it, and I did ask him some medeocre questions, but I actually think this is some dolled up (home-built) , with a nice, professionally made but bogus "BassTracker" decal on it. I'm deffinately going to pass, but I'm going to call him this evening and ask some questions. Not wanting to jump the proverbial gun, but this smells rotten and it ain't in Denmark either. Thanks Tom! |
