28' Uniflite "Mega" - twin 318 inboards

I'm surprised you didn't rate this one higher.

Great boat, although as you approach 30', I prefer diesels.
This one was an '87 (I think .... or was it an '85? ... can't remember).

There's something about the lines of this boat that just please me for
some reason - I can't quite put my finger on why I really like them.

Also had a 29' Phoenix that was (and still is) an outstanding boat in terms
of ride, performance and overall quality. Side by side it looks almost
identical to a similarly sized Bert. A couple still have it in Scituate
and are enjoying it. It was (is) also a great fishing boat.

I almost bought one about that size a couple of years ago.
Unfortunately, the survey didn't come out well at all - it would have
taken me years to restore it back to decent condition.

I'm still looking around - thinking Topaz again. Also Rampage and I
ran across a Blackwatch the other day.

I hate not having a larger boat. :)

How'd things work out with the Navigator?

An official, written offer is expected this week or next. I like dealing
with people like them. They were up front and asked for a "verbal" that we
would accept which we gave to the broker. They want it and are going
through the financing and insuring process. The buyer has little or no
boating experience, so the insurance issue is a bit of a sticky-wicket, but
it should work out.

Here's a suggestion. If they buy it, help them find a reliable licensed
delivery captain who is a decent teacher and urge them to accompany him
on the trip. By the time they get the boat to home port, they'll know
how to handle her.

The broker has suggested exactly that to the potential buyer and is making
the arrangements in the event of a sale.

I thought about it and advised the broker that I would have no interest in
delivering it.

WHOO HOO!!

So - what's next on the list of possible purchases?

Bigger GB?

I might suggest the same as Harry - tell them to rent a decent Captain
for instructional purposes and have them make the trip up to
Champlain.

I can recommend a company who has some pretty competant Captains with
large boat experience if you want.
