You sure have done a great job on keeping your Tige exactly the way it did when it rolled out of the showroom. I can relate to your financial issues. We had a 2001, 21v. Because of the type of home loan we got, when everything went crazy in 2007, our house payments tripled. That worked for a while, until we had to shut down our business. With all the tight money, our customers just stopped paying for services rendered. Sold our boat and used the money for an attorney to fight the bank. We lost and ultimately the bank took our home. Anyway, you don't want to hear about our problem, and there is way more to the story. Let's talk business. I have never been on this site or been involved with an auction. I have a couple of questions, I hope you do not mind answering. 1. When does the auction end? 2. If you were selling your boat normally, what would your asking price be? 3. Is there a Reserve Amount on the boat? 4. Realistically,in your opinion, how much work is needed on it? 5. Are there any major problems that you know about? Anything can be repaired, it would be nice to know up front what that might be. 6. If we can come to an agreed amount, and I give you a deposit, will you allow me to have a qualified marine mechanic do an inspection? If the inspection is positive, I give you the balance of the money agreed upon. If the report uncovers a real problem that changes my mind about the purchase, you refund me the deposit. No Harm, No Foul. Also, I would be happy to give you a copy of the inspection report. I hope structuring a deal, as I have, will work at your end. If you would like to continue having a discussion, I look forward to hearing back from you. Respectfully Richard Reed / ***,
