So is this a straight sale or are there strings attached?

THIS VESSEL BELONGS TO THE NATIONAL SAVE THE SEA TURTLE FOUNDATION, INC. IT WILL BE CONVEYED VIA A LEASE/OPTION/CHARTER AGREEMENT. PLEASE CALL CAPTAIN ANDRE HARDY AT 954-232-6536 YOU CAN ALSO VISIT THE WEB SITE.

More strings than a marionette has attached to it. These outfits have to retain title to donated vessels for 3 years to follow IRS rules I believe.

Apparently it was $169 in June and was dropped to $115 now. These outfits have become awash in boat donations and need to unload their inventory. I understand that it's a lease purchase contract with a buy out at the end. No different an a car or piece of equiptment. In this market with war with Syria imminent and oil spiking I would think the terms would be pretty negotiable.

I think the total price is 169,000.

That sounds about right. The way these lease/charters work you pay around 70% up front for the 3 year lease and then the remaining 30% to purchase the boat after the lease/charter ends.

Captain Randy the way I read that eBay ad the boat can be got for $100,000.00. Wanna go in as partners? I've got the roadmap for victory.

What's the deal with the single lever controls?

What's the deal with the single lever controls?

They look like Mathers Micro Commanders. Wouldn't be my first choice.

But if both engines run its definitely a plus

Let's do it! We may have to pony up the whole $115K for the "Buy It Now", and we can then split the proceeds from the inevitable lawsuit when they reneg on the deal. I mean we've already got a legal precedent.

But it says "Buy It Now" for $115K.
