That is a great deal. As others have said, run, don't walk.

Wavelength,

The 200 & 225 yamaha 4 strokes came from the factory a little light on power. I have to agree with everyone that if the engine works fine and the hull is ok, I would jump on that deal even if it's a little underpowered.

Then Seize the Moment & Boat !

Is that how it works. My pictures must suck.

Maybe because they are not of a Seacraft

I'll have to take the winter clothes off my other girl and snap some photos of her so I can get a cool nickname.

Wavelenght - Congradulations on the find and Welcome.

Trouble in Yankeetown

I went to do the deal on my new 1977 23 and the guy says "I can't seem to find the title and by the way the boats in my ex-girlfriends name" what a dumb ass. Can I say dumb ass here? Sorry! I told him to call me if he gets the title straight. He wanted a deposit and I said again when you get the title. I'll keep you posted.

I hgad the same experience a while back. Found a 20' in S Florida that sounded too good to be true. I was ready to buy sight unseen and I asked him if he had the title. He said he didn't and "you really don't need one". Yea right.

I went through this BS last year, but I got my boat & title.

In NJ all the previous owner has to do is to go to the local DMV, fill out the appropriate paperwork and a new title will be generated. The key is the title will be generated in the name of the last known registrant.

Good luck & don't give us. Great deals sometimes happen because you are willing to bull your way through the BS.
