Deal or No Deal

No Deal.

We're not surprised that they countered the first offer. 

We are a little shocked about the changes on the paperwork though.  It's like the boat that we put the offer on never really existed.  Tank sizes, bilge blower, propeller blades, anchor chain, fridge power, batteries - all changed.  Dates all moved up.  List of stuff that doesn't work added.

We are not in a hurry to make a bad deal.  That's the biggest issue - the push to have the survey done by March 15th.  Why?  It's still winter time in the great white north.  What are they trying to hide?

So, we told the broker, no thanks, we'll keep looking.  We can always come back to this boat later in the spring if it hasn't sold.

In the meantime...  So many boats...  We're thinking about plunging into Toronto for the next round.  There's another Amerosport just listed, and a Four Winns that look promising.  And a ridiculously low priced Pacemaker that we think we should just go ahead and buy, 'cause you can't possibly go wrong for that price, even if you have to replace everything...
