Thanks for stopping by Chris

Its like life we learn as we go

plus I didnt want to buy a brand new boat and tear it up
I had no boating or trailering exprence so I wanted a used boat that I could wreck
and it not cost me and arm and leg
Dont get me wrong I would buy a new boat in a minute NOW well maybee in a year or two
The money I spent is well worth it to me cause I can look out my window and see were my money is instead of throwing it on the stage or up in smoke

I am going fishing next week

Bummer of a story. Looks like u learned a valuable lesson tho.....I read your story with great interest, and I hafta say, the use of puncuation would have made it far easier to read. Try re-reading it yourself outloud and u may see what I mean! :offtopic:

Thanks for sharing though, because your point is a good one. DON'T rush into any boat! Do your homework, and you will save in the long run.

Bought a boat without a survey&#46; Ouch&#46;
Actually, ya bought somebody else's nightmare&#46;

Then you dump more money into it and claim it's all good for a learning experience&#46;
Look at the name of your boat, Beach,,,,,

Then you haul it down the road on another POS trailer&#46; BEFORE CHECKING IT OUT!!!!!!!
Are you related to the other guy?

As for the guy that sold it to you&#46;
Good for him&#46;

Bummer about some bad luck&#46;
Any used vehicles going to need some work&#46; More so when they were an ultra low price&#46;
Hopefully the big ticket items are out of the way&#46;
Now time for the preventive maintenance&#46;
All wheel hubs greased? No leaky inside wheel bearing hub seals&#46;
All trl bunk boards good&#46; No rotting, Rusted bolts?
Wire brush rust on trl&#46; Repaint&#46;
Oil change in outdrive,power steering, hydraulics, etc
Clean all electric connectors, Dielectric grease in all electronic plugins, Battery terminals, etc
Good luck, With your new boat&#46; Looks clean&#46;
Fixing up boats is fun,
Repairing broken boats really sucks

WOW! Just looked at the rest of the reports&#46; OUCH! Actually thought your boat ended up in the drink at first&#46;
Pick up a repair manual&#46; Most stuff is easy to fix&#46; Beats paying 100&#46;00 for a mechanic&#46;
Also check online for parts, And shop around for a good/fair mechanic in advance of any repairs to be done&#46;
Buying and upkeep on a first boat is a learning experience&#46;
Glad I bought my used 26'er (First boat) for 16k in 04&#46; Beat paying 83k for a new one&#46;

Hey Ron,
Ive noticed my lower shift cable attachment has been worn maybe 1/2 way through for maybe two seasons now&#58;roll&#58; &#58;roll&#58;
If I don't replace it soon&#46; Maybe you will be reading a post by me&#46; How I was returning to the boat ramp, Tryed shifting into Neutral/Reverse&#46; The shift cable broke&#46; Then my boat proceeded straight into the back of a shamrock pilot house&#46; &#58;bang&#58;
Very Funny Stuff, Don't Ya Think &#58;lol&#58; &#58;lol&#58;
