Fair-price question

[/QUOTE] So where are we with this story... you bought one or both of these boats?[/QUOTE]

I sent a note letting the owner know that I took a cursory look, which he had agreed to., and that I’d make an offer after I can fully inspect each boat. Haven’t heard back. I’ll give it another week and see where it goes.

I was thinking he might get motivated to get right back to me when I explained how fast the boats are going to continue to deteriorate in the salt. But the super wealthy are not always super smart. And he may think those boats are completely immune to the evils of the salt environment given their shrink wrap status and “professional winterization”, and likely thinks I’m an idiot for suggesting otherwise:-)

Stay tuned....

Ha. Well, you could as if the owner wants to sell. That’s what I did and got a very quick YES for an answer:-)

I like where your brain is at!

Worst case I get something to part out for the Mustang fanatics hang here.

Wow, I’m thinking 6k for the SS and 1500 bucks for the Mustang. Sitting in the weeds and shrink wrapped for sometime in a salt environment provides a heavy discount! Anything that moves is going to be frozen due to corrosion, if not already. Hardware and such is showing plenty of pitting on the CC.

If the seller says no I’ll hit him again next year...my experience with excessively wealthy, absentee owners with boats sitting unused and not advertised, is they let their boats rot in place...I’m willing to let him do it unless I get my number...

Hmmm, well, settings allow viewing to anyone with the link. I’ll address pics when I retire and have more time....

Nope

Pictures are a major PITA. I don’t even bother now. Mustang vs Ski Supreme is really not much of a comparison because they’re different animals. I’d choose Supreme hands down for skiing. Mustang wins out by miles on the cool factor.

Here are some pics.. Got a look at the Mustang yesterday.

‘97 Ski Supreme?? Pretty certain that’s a composite boat. Thought they switched to composite in mid 80’s.
