If you have EVER signed up with them AND viewed this boat thru them, you may NOT bid on it, or you "could" be liable for 10% commission to them. (their rule, not mine) .Deposit of $2,000 due immediately after purchase, to hold boat. (I can take credit card over phone, or you may mail check) due to previous people failing to abide by contract, 50% of that deposit will be NON REFUNDABLE in the event you back out, change your mind for any reason, or don't pay in full.Boat is located in Ft. Myers FloridaLast survey on boat was 5 years ago, for insurance company. You may opt to have it surveyed, but it will be at YOUR EXPENSE (haul out, survey, captain fee ($200) to move boat) or, you can do IN WATER survey where it sits. This boat is being sold for less than actual value, and will appraise/survey at greater value. Compare to others for sale!This boat is in BETTER than average condition for it's year, and has had meticulous maintenance, with the same mechanic, over the 10 years we've owned it. It is ready to run now as-is, or you can upgrade. It is, however, a boat, and being sold AS-IS!I have tried to state the facts as clearly & honestly as possible. If you have questions, don't hesitate to message or call me. phoneI can send more photos on request...or a short videoI am a licensed Master Captain & MIGHT be able to deliver boat (for a fee) if you are not far away. Otherwise, you are responsible for pickup.KNOWN issues with boat, are as follows:-LED underwater lights are fairly new, but has some kind of grounding issue. Easy repair for boat shop-Microwave door facing is broken. It still latches, & works fine. -Eisenglass is original to boat, and is hazed / crazed. hard to see thru. We usually remove it when traveling.-Bottom paint is 5 years old. It was VERY well done and lasted far longer than it should have, but is DUE for painting! Bottom itself, in GREAT shape, and we have a Diver check it & clean it every 4 weeks-Auto pilot works perfectly, but the LED screen is blurry & sun damaged. Hard to see. A replacement "head" is $1,000 or you can have the screen replaced for $500-Generator runs GREAT, starts instantly but blows some black smoke. Possibly from not being used much anymore & sitting.
