Looks like the hopeful retirement boat and associated weekend "no warden included" trip to South Padre Island is a no-go.
Talked to the guy last night and nice guy but too many conflicts in his assessment along with saying he has to work Friday, Saturday and Sunday so can only show it Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday which is probably true but he is not too anxious to sell it.
Asked him to confirm the advertised engine hours were a total of 300 and not 300 after a rebuild or something. Answer: well the hours are actually closer to 450.
He was only off by 50%, no big deal.
Yeah, that seemed to be his thought too. Sort of a magic number with outboard motors is 500 hours, they will last double that or more if well maintained but there is a big diminishing value at that point.
