Now the sellers do not respond. they are both up in the north US near Canada. I live on a boat in a south LA bayou so i think i must have stepped in a pile of alligator poop and didn't know it. Is it the wrong time of year to buy a boat? Or is there a certain protocol i need to follow? I am being a gentleman and speaking English and correcting my spelling. I have been living, owning, sailing, working on the water for 60 + years. i have owned and sailed 4 different sizes and makes of boats. Am i being to brash when i say, "I like your boat and will buy it"? jimmy mac
