"IMMACULATE CONDITION" got you to look. Others may not be as decerning.

At least you could see it in the photos. How many times do you see a boat listed as Great Condition and then you show up and you wouldn't let your dog lick the floor of it?

Maybe its the "Immaculate Deception"?

Have some fun..... email the dealer and ask them if were are "serious about that"; in your best Joe Peschi voice.

They said the boat was immaculate. They didn't say anything about the outdrive.

He he, tha rope is not holding the drive up, it's just the stupid way they anchored the draw string for the winter cover.

tennja, you do have a valid point, the boat could still be immaculate!

And they say, "buyers are liars"...

When I recently sold my Scout, I put "excellent condition" in the ad. And it was.

The first thing that the buyer said when he saw it was, "well, you didn't lie about the condition of it, so you must have told the truth about the rest of it".

And then he wrote me a check...
