I am negotiating on a Spectra 19 that is in Thousand Oaks, CA. Before I took the flight down I was wondering if anyone lived near there that could look at this boat for me. I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks.

Is that the Spectra 19 v-drive that I refered you to?

Brent,
Yes it is. Hopefully it will turn out.
Thanks.
Magnuman, stop wasting everyone's time, stop being a cheapskate, fly out and look at the boat yourself.
Having driven from Wyoming to California to buy two flatties,I don't think his friendly request is out of the ordinary.
I think what Jetboatguru meant was ,just buy the damn thing http://free.***boat.net/ubb/wink.gif! You can't go wrong with a 19 V-drive spectra http://free.***boat.net/ubb/biggrin.gif.It's rare as hen's teeth,and Magnuman might loose it if he's contemplating for too long http://free.***boat.net/ubb/biggrin.gif

Jetboatguru,
If a fellow boardmember asked for someone to look at a boat for them in my area I would do it without hesitation. That what the boards are for. I have flown all over the country looking for boats at various times. At present two of my boats I have had shipped from Florida and Michigan. I also spent countless hours looking at peoples "perfect" boats to find out that the only thing their perfect boat was good for was an anchor. If you knew who I am and what my reputation is among the marine industry,
I don't think you would be calling me a cheapskate. But I guess there's always "one"
in the group who has to bring the rest down.
By the way, I have gotten many gracious responses to my request and will know by tomorrow if the boat is all that the owner says it is.
Magnuman,
I will be near 1000 Oaks next week (Simi Valley) on business. I will be glad to check out the Spectra...

Does anyone think the Jetboatguru would have told us where he lives if he wasn't willing to go look at the boat for this fella? It looks to me that he was plenty willing and never got a response back. I've had this same experience with Magnuman when he was first looking for 21' boats. I wasn't selling mine at the time, but I took about 1/2 hour and copy and pasted every 21' V-Drive I could find. Then I offered to sell him mine. He contacted me with some interest and we had correspondence a couple of times. Ultimately the ball was in his court and I was waiting either way to hear what he wanted to do. Never heard a thing. No problem really with me, but if Jetboatguru was waiting for details on where to go look at this boat and never got them, I can see how he was a little frustrated. As for reputations in the marine industry, love him or hate him, Jetboatguru has one himself, and most would agree it's a good one.
