I bought my boat off ebay. Go on line an find a local dealer and get him to go get the boat and check it out for you. Tell the seller you want todo this.Be sure that you use your mech. not his. If he balks or studders at all WALK AWAY!!!!. Finaly tell the seller that if you are the winner that the sale DEPENDS ON YOUR SATFACTION OF A TEST AND FINAL INSPECTION OF THE BOAT!! That is what I did and have no regrets.
