REDSOXWSCHAMP Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 A friend of mine was looking for bass boats around that same price range too, and he found a scam. the boat was supposed to be in chicago, when he called to tell the guy he was leaving missouri to come pick up the boat, the guy said it was in a shipping container in seattle and hung up, luckily my friend hadn't paid anything yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDSOXWSCHAMP Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 The biggest thing for me when buying a used boat is, make sure there isn't water in the lower unit, make sure it has good compression on the cylinders, then with a fiberglass boat look for F-GLASS damage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flysmallie Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Well if you buy that Champion from Wrench you won't have to worry about being scammed. He's not going to sell you a pile of crap either. Plus it's a Champion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishinwrench Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Jim, not having much luck with the phone(s) this evening, either to you or the owner of the rig. So I'll try ya tomorrow. Oh and according to my 19y/o daughter who is an authority on all things cool and stylish.....Having a boat that matches your truck "is ghey". Who knew, right?
