Is the boat still for sale?
Can you both send pictures to [url=mailto:travis.honeycutt@yahoo.com]travis.honeycutt@yahoo.com[/url]?
Still waiting on pictures guys. Anyone else have a cat for under $8,000?
I have a question about the sale going through the dealer. I know in Arkansas if you purchase from an individual you dont have to pay sales tax on the used boat only on the trailer if its valued over a certain amount. Can this be done if the dealer handles the transaction? Also can the BCB dealer still handle the financing selling one like that?
Where at in North Central Arkansas? Im in Harrison and looking to upgrade.
Pictures & equipment?
Can you email some pics to travis.honeycutt@yahoo.com? Thanks
Thanks for the response guys my boat actually did sell lastnight so I am actively seeking out a new ride as I have another tournamnet next weekend so I have to move quick. I will give a little more info for what I am looking for now that mine has sold. I am looking for a 2009 or newer 20ft+ with a 250motor low hours. My last boat had Lowrance HDS8 units with structure scan so I would prefer the boat I get to have Lowrance units with structure scan or Hummingbird units with side imaging. I primarily like the Cougars and Pumas but given the right deal will consider any of the 20ft+ models. My email is travis.honeycutt@yahoo.com.
Cajun thanks for the additional info but I was aware of point number one and I looked over my initial post and I never said I wanted to get one in AR because regardless of what state I buy it in if its an individuals boat I wont be required to pay sales tax. Of course the closer the better but for the right deal Ill go to CA or NY if its worth my while. On point two you can actually use one bill of sale and list boat motor and trailer at seperate values which is the way I have done my last three and not ran into any sales tax issues. I am already willing to do a down payment over the 10% norm that I hear of many people paying. I agree too many people live outside their means and let their wants overpower their financial capability but I dont feel like Im doing that. My point was at a 5 year max loan term which is the info I am receiving local, even with me putting $5,000-$10,000 down on a boat thats only a year or two old makes a payment ridiculous in my opinion. I have a hard time swallowing a payment thats as high as my lakehouse. I posted here to see how these guys purchasing $30,000-$40,000 used boats were doing their financing and keeping a reasonable payment. I can assure you I would never put myself in a financial bind purposely and thats why Im asking questions and in my expierence most people living outside their means dont have enough sense to even ask these questions, they just accept whatever interest rate is offered and dont have money to put money down anyways. What I am able to pay and what I am willing to pay for a monthly boat payment are two seperate things because I like to keep several months pay saved in my account for those unexpected expenses that find their ways into our lives. Could I afford to pay out $1,000 extra per month on a boat payment? Absolutely! Am I willing to do that? No! Your response makes me feel like most guys either have $20,000 cash laying around to put down or a $700 per month payment is the norm which I have a hard time seeing happen.
No worries about being rude I just wanted to make sure and make myself clear because I thought maybe there was some confusion with the initial post. It was more of an inquiring minds want to know question and to let the guys who had boats for sale know I was in the market. I was waiting to hear back on an application I sent and thought I would get some input from a great group thats definitely purchased more boats than me over the years. Thanks that is some great information and sounds like I might want to look into that.
I did notice it and have already sent him an email. Its a good looking boat.
You bet send me some pictures. Also do you know how many hours are on the motor?
basscattech- I second your motion to take off your listing if you have no intentions of selling. I ran into one last week that was listed in Novemeber and they posted on here again on 1/3 stating boat was still for sale and needed to move it. I posted a message the following day requesting pictures and also sent an email. Got an email response back that they thought the boat was sold. I told them if something fell through to let me know as I was less than an hour away and if it looked good and checked out I would buy it. I finally get a response back yesterday stating they had the BASS Open coming up in February and there was not enough time to get their new boat built before then so they couldnt sell it right now but I could have it after the championships. I must say he was a very nice guy and wasnt rude but its disturbing to me that you list something for sale and when someones ready to buy it then all the sudden you cant sell it. If you cant sell it then dont list it.
I love the idea of it I was just hoping it would clear without any problems. I had about 3more inches of clearance on my last boat before my cowling would hit so as long as its close to that height I shouldnt run into any issues. The new boat I should have this weekend has it on it so I was just curious. Hated to get that new thing home and be upset because I couldnt park it in my shop.
Advantage or FTD? How many hours? Where are you located? This info may spark more peoples interest.
