thanks Guys..to all of you for taking your time & giving your thoughts..especially Gchuba who writes long like me! LOL.

Well, I'm still hanging in there with thoughts of what to do..since have til tomorrow around midnight PST to buy. I did do two things to quieten my fears of scam..sent her an email to call me or else so we can actually talk..and also sent an email to her Ebay friend who's putting boat on his account (which is interesting in that he's had 72 sales over 12 years, with 56 five star feedbacks..including a $7500 car he sold last time).

More later..with either a teary story of how I lost my arse & my deposit..or purchasing a great boat cheaply (eat your hearts out! Haaa.).. or that I took Gchuba's advice and decided to fix up the old gal I have (1993 B-W Rage 14' Jet).

Cheers, BiLL
