Used Boat Buyers BEWARE

[NoExcuses]

TO ALL ,

We just discovered that our "totaled" 1991 Skeeter DX200 is currently for sale at Angler's Marine on Pacific Avenue in Spanaway, WA for $10,500. and it has NOT been repaired of  the fiberglass damage to the hull that was quoted to us at over $12,000.    

The owner of Angler's Marine said he would contact the guy that brought it in on consignment and have it removed from their lot -- so it will probably show up on another boat lot before long . . . please get the word out for those looking at used boats to have the boats looked over thoroughly by a person who has nothing to gain from the sale.  

We would really hate for an un-assuming family to end up with this boat that should not be on the water in it's current condition.   The guy who brought this in on consignment obviously has no regard for the safety of others and is simply trying to make some quick money.

The registration number on this boat is WN 5751 NC, it has a 1991 Yamaha PRO V 200 on it.   Angler's Marine currently has pictures of it on their website under the used boat section page 2.

We will be checking with the WA DOL  to make sure that their records show that it was "totaled" in 2003.

Please spread the word around so this damaged boat doesn't end up in the hands of an innocent party.

Thanks for the headsup.

I guess purchasing a used boat is just like purchasing a used car.

Except with the cars you can find out about them if you have their ID number.

And with a boat, you find out about them when it sinks!!  ;D

Thanks for the heads up!
