Hi Guys. I still can’t believe with all the information on the net.
People are still being ripped off when it comes to buying a boat.
Honestly, It doesn’t matter whether your buying from a dealer or a private sale.
DON’T believe for a minute you can 100% trust what their trying to sell you.
You MUST have some knowledge of your own so you will know what to look for & what to look out for. If your going in blind, with no idea what’s good and what’s not, then your setting yourself up for disappointment.
Boating is supposed to be FUN, not a disaster.
Just recently there has been a number of newly sold boats, bursting into flames when re-fueling.
When I say newly sold I mean these were the first fuel ups for the proud new owners. “Proud” they almost died, and for what. So the seller could make a quick buck without making the boat sea-worthy.
You may be saying : it’s because their not using bilge blowers when refueling,
If there’s no leaking fuel and the fill and vent pipes are installed correctly, then there is no fuel vapor to start a fire!
Current Economic times are hearting the boating industry, Boats that shouldn’t be sold, are being sold.
It’s your job to know the difference.
