Skipper is no longer *here*. If and when this NG returns to being the

Paul,

I am not sure if you statement about Harry is correct, but I would think
most people would be hesitant to buy a boat from someone who says "Guess my
price"? Harry is not only asking for JohnH to make an offer, but even after
JohnH makes his offer, Harry will not make a counter offer, he will just
play the "Cold, Colder, getting Warmer" game. I have to be honest, I have
never heard of anyone selling anything with a "Standing Room Only" attitude,
refusing to provide details of the product being sold, and refusing to
provide an asking price or a even providing a counter offer.

Very strange indeed.

It does highlight one of the disadvantages of buying a used boat. You have
to contend with amateurs selling a boat who are too emotionally attached or
who make unreasonable demands to the boat to facilitate the sale.

Worse, Krause is a proven liar with little or no respect for others.
Buying a boat from him represents considerable known risks.

Paul,

I know Chuck used to say he never would provide a sea trial until a contract
had been signed, but in my area it is normal to have a "sea trial" before a
contract is signed on trailer boats or boats less than 40' that are already
in the water .

Chuck is not what most would consider a good and honest buyers broker.
He represents the worst of the industry...and experienced the fate of
most of these charlatans, moving quickly from job to job and then out of
the business. Fortunately, he is no longer a broker.

You'll notice that the personal attacks and inflammatory political posting has gone
way down. Many of us have learned to ignore those posts, and respond only to the
posts which are not intended to inflame.

Sure hope you'll join us!

Have you seen apologies issued for the personal insults and lies Chucky
tossed toward Skipper and his wife? No? Wonder why?

Skipper,

I am curious. Why, in your reincarnation, do you often refer to yourself in
the third person?

You are way out there. Get some help. This 3rd person stuff is really,

I am starting to wonder where he is posting from. Maybe he woke up a while
ago, looked around and realized it didn't look like Kansas anymore.

Would that be described as an "Out of Kansas Experience"?
