getting screwed and not enjoying it ...

[Boatsb]

Sorry about the empty picture. It was supposed to have two hatteras MY's sitting out there. I beg to differ on the sales agreements. I had a buyer sign an agreement on the sell of our boat on the contingency that I would wait 1 month in florida to help him drive the boat to NC. So I waited 1 month and he wasnt satisfied at the sea trail. I could tell he wasnt his happy self. He blamed the engines not spooling up to correct rpm and walked. I since (fixed) calibrated the engines (fuel injector pump issue) with a quick 1 hr of labor. Our broker said we couldnt hold him to the contract. I dont know the particulars but I can say sometimes the seller gets shafted. In that one month time frame I might could have sold the boat but I waited. Live and learn, but the contracts are written to protect the broker in my opinion.

No They are not. The contracts protect the buyer and seller. If he agreed to the price and did a seatrial he should have had a few days to sign the acceptance. If he signed the acceptance and did not close he is in breach of his contract. The acceptance should have had the closing date (a month is not the norm but I understand the situation and both parties agreed) and if he did not close on the specified date the contract should have remedies.

That's sounds like a bad deal that your broker should have advised against. The due diligence and surveys should have been done right away. He could have accepted or rejected right away and then no one month wait. If all was fine he could have accepted the boat and waited the month to close. That way he would have to close or forfeit his deposit. The way you did it, all the risk fell on you and he had a month to rethink or find a different boat. Even if the boat was perfect at sea trial and survey, he could have rejected the boat and got his deposit back. I would have never accepted a deal like that.

Yes, you both are correct I shouldnt have accepted the 1 month wait. However, the guy couldnt leave NC and come all the way down to Florida. But still he was protected from me selling it but I wasnt from him backing out. The broker was in SC so the whole thing was done long distance. The whole thing stunk all the way around. In the end nobody was happy. Now I'm back in SC so closer to the Broker. The broker said the way he wrote the contract was strange. He didnt advise waiting a month either. All this was to try to help the buyer out but it turned out biting me. Well, the whole thing was very unpleasant to say the least. I still have it for sale but currently planning on the spring trip.

Sounds like you were being a nice guy, like I was. We know how that often works out ...

Hi Magnawake yes its George's old boat...it truly is a NICE boat but we are making it a GREAT boat
we have removed all the old Furuno electronics from the Flybridge and the Pilot house including the
old computer monitors and the old Robertson Autopilots and we have replaced them with all new
Garmin 8000 electronics including the Garmin Autopilot and a Garmin x-HD2 6KW Radar which makes it much better we have 2-8212 MFD in the Pilothouse and 1-8215 MFD touch screen Chartplotters/Sonar Combos, also wind meter, helm indicator, trim tab indicator which it did not have, we have added AIS which is great to have we are also in the
process of having the Teak Decks refurbished they were completely shot and we are bringing them back to life we installed new DD Airsep on the engines which makes a BIG difference from the original ones a lot less oil leaks...we have made new covers for the front windows, the "Bitch Pad" as my wife calls it...lol, the front bench we are going to remove all the rugs on the boat and install Hardwood floors we have sanded and revarnished all the teak railings and the 2 entrance doors to the Aft Deck...we would love to have you over for something to eat and Drink with us next time we are down that way..

Wow !! you are tricking it out. I think you'll like this picture. George has helped me a great deal. I was sad when he told me he was selling it. I have anchored with him and followed him around some. I'll never forget him telling me after I got tore up out in 6 ft seas going to Cape Look out was that was "Preventable" and I should have waited another day. That word took on a whole new meaning. Check this out at Ocracoke.

By all means you must visit the outer banks. Great anchorages, beautiful untouched beaches and lots of history. I am watching a show on TV right now about the lost colony on Roanoke Island. You could spend months exploring NC alone. We spend the last two years in South Fl working and cruising. It was nice but we are looking forward to getting back to our old stomping grounds if not going father North.

You should start a new thread with the details of your boat and the upgrades you are making.
