Very much the complete opposite of my buying experience, btw. A fellow member here put me in touch with another member who was looking to sell his boat, and I had the pleasure of dealing with an upstanding gentleman. I get the impression quite a few members here have had similar experiences.
Wish it was like that. When we very first started looking, we came across an excellent condition 2000 Montauk. Had the aft bench, all cushions and all of the rails as well. Very nice older gentleman who offered to take us out on the water. We held off on the venture until we could see what we could do financially. While trying to work with our bank the boat was sold but then came across a second one in good condition. Problem is that the guy has been flaky for a while so after this recent experience we're extremely cautious. Haven't seen a decent BW in miles so looks like we'll be waiting a while.
