My potential buyer called again this morning - wanted to make sure
that I "understood" his offer.

Get this - he felt that based on his "surveyor's" report that perhaps
he made an inappropriate offer. He went into this long explanation of
the why's and how's then said this:

"I don't want the engine as it's very old. Based on your asking
price, my "surveyor's" report and the cost of a new four stroke Honda
long leg which will cost me at least $3,000, I'll up my offer to
$1,000." Basically, he wants me to buy his new engine for him.

I told him never to call me again. :)

Ever.

Donate it to the Boy Scouts and be done with it and the frustrations you are
experiencing.

I donate enough money, time and effort to charities.

The HK Foundation appreciates those monthly checks you send, and
promises not to tell everyone about the five illegitimate children you
fathered in the Carolinas during your last trip there.

Tom's a generous guy. With last month's check, I was able to treat
myself to a latte, small, at Starbucks.

That's an odd response, Don. Did you read it before you clicked "send"?

Whatever. Just trying to reduce your stress factor.

Perhaps he would like to keep the other 75% of the boat's value? Not
everyone makes the sizeable charitable contributions you make!
