[3rdday]

Carla,
Owner called me yesteday asking if I was still interested in purchasing. I told her I was, but not at 5K. I re- iterated the price points the experts and CSC longtimers suggested, and stated that I was only willing to pay said amount, possibly a little more if I could see the motor run.. She wants a premium for her boat, and if she dosen't get it her fiance' is going to restore it. She explained that her late husband had 8K in the boat. I would love to buy and restore this boat,and i have been trying to negotiate fairly, however I cannot pay what she is wanting, plus a restoration. Knowing what terry got in addition to what everyone on CSC is saying it just does not make sense to pay a Lg. sum , regardless of its rarity and nostalgia.
