well I talked with both sellers for a week negotiated price, told them funds were in my hand, called wednesday to tell them i would be down to miami from jacksonville thursday by 8:00 a.m.. had to pull one motor off a boat he was advised I was bringing a mechanic with me. get to miami neither one will call me back for directions. spend all day down there fishing grin. eat dinner spend anouther hour talking to the bartender. She calls from her cell phone & one of the sellers answers. now remember ive been calling since 8:00 a.m.(& leaving mesages) they new I would be down first thing in the morning. He says to me oh I thought I left you a message Ive got a guy that wants to by the whole boat you understand dont you. well I understand however what I dont understand is 2 sellers letting me drive 700 miles with no intention of selling me there items. mad

Jeez dude, that stinks. The least they could do is reimburse your expenses. May the fleas of a thousand jackal infest their heads. Hey, if I hear of anyone with 2 60's I'll send them your way.

My comments about your pilgrimage to Miami would melt your screen and get me banned for life from First Coast Angler. So, just for the health of it, call Eric at Ocean Outboard Marine, Fernandina Beach No affiliation, usual disclaimers.

Eric Oliver is a good guy. You may want to check in with him. He used to do consignments, he may still. Give him a call.

Wow, that bites!! I bet you felt like Mr. Grizwalt, when Wally World was closed. Were you looking for a sporting goods store??
