***Well,it looks like I bought myself a Seafari***

So anyway,the seller called me back,and we talked about the boat.I asked him if he was sure that it was a Seacrest and not a Seacraft.
His reply was "That's what it is,! a Seacraft,not a seacrest". That's why he changed it in the ad.

I asked a few questions to which he seemed to answer truthfully.He said the cabin was a mess,and needed work.The motor doesn't turn over,but he thinks it is a shift problem as he can't get it out of gear,and it wont start unless its in neutral.
He claims the original owner had the transom professionally done in 2000 by a shop in Burlington.
Claims the hull is in very good shape,and a very small soft spot in the deck floor.The trailer is a bunk style and is solid.Needs some tlc and a little glass work on the soft spot in the deck.
It comes with four electric down riggers although he didn't know what brand.
I know down riggers inside and out,so as long as they are one of the major brands,and work ok,that's at least $400.00 right there.

So I told him,if it's as decent as he claims,and has the paper work(title)as he claims,and the trailer can make the 4 mile trip,consider it sold.
He claimed that i was the first inquiry and that he would hold it for me till he gets home tomorrow night about 5:00 pm.He will give me first shot.

So,hopefully he is telling me the truth and will hold it for me at 5:00 pm tomorrow
I hope he's a man of his word.nowadays you never know.

I'm excited,but have no idea why.I really don't have a need for it,although my 23 Tsunami is 400 miles,and 6-1/2 hours away on the great lakes,and yet I'm only an hour and a half from the salt in Rhode Island or Connecticut.Maybe it can be something to do a little striper,fluke,Bluefish,and sea bass fishing out of.

So I have my fingers crossed that I'll have it tomorrow night,and I know I'll have lots of questions for you guys,as I know nothing about the Seafari's. Thanks all.
