Hi Larry,<br />
I bought the boat from a Craigslist ad back in late May. It was super cheap, the guy who was selling it was an older gent and he said he was a two boat owner and just had to get rid of one. He told me the boat could stay where it was and the slip rent was $55 per month. Very cheap. So I went down to look at the boat and decided to buy it. The owner was a no-show that day which was pretty annoying as it's a long drive, and no one from the marina was around either. But I saw enough of…
Hi Larry,<br />
I bought the boat from a Craigslist ad back in late May. It was super cheap, the guy who was selling it was an older gent and he said he was a two boat owner and just had to get rid of one. He told me the boat could stay where it was and the slip rent was $55 per month. Very cheap. So I went down to look at the boat and decided to buy it. The owner was a no-show that day which was pretty annoying as it's a long drive, and no one from the marina was around either. But I saw enough of the boat to decide I wanted it, and enough of the marina to decide I didn't really want to stay there.<br />
<br />
I paid for the boat, there were no liens on the title, and I loaded up the car for the trip down. Got there, and almost immediately met the marina owner, who informed me that the guy who sold the boat to the guy I bought it from owed the marina a ton of money and the boat couldn't leave the slip until that was paid. Apparently the guy I bought it from had only bought it himself a month or so before, and when he found out about the problem decided to dump the boat on some other unsuspecting person. I thought about pursuing getting my money back but I figured it would be futile, not to mention I really wanted the boat. I was told the guy who owed the money was working on a payment plan so I decided to wait and see what happened.<br />
<br />
The second time I loaded up the car to try and work on the boat, which I wasn't even sure I wanted to do since the ownership was up in the air, I ran over something on I-95 about halfway there and destroyed a tire. By the time that was all fixed it was getting too late and I turned around and went home. I lost heart at that point and just tried to pretend I never wanted a boat as the summer ticked away.<br />
<br />
A couple weeks ago I got the call that I was free. The debt had finally been paid. I was happy. So I loaded the car to the gills for the third time and set off on the trek. When I got there and saw the flooded docks and the damage that had been done by the boat being higher than the pilings I was at the end of my rope. I'm sure happy I got the boat out of there and safely up on the hard so I can get it ready for spring. Gail,

Gail,<br />
Somewhere I missed the first two trips. You bought the boat, but you couldn't take possession? Did you buy it sight unseen? Can you fill in the gaps? I sense a very interesting story..<br />
