UPDATE: I drove as quickly as I could to see this Whaler but another guy beat my arrival by only a few minutes and after listening to the motor turn over, bought it. I made a counter offer before there was any money exchanged to the owner that was higher, just to make things "interesting" which I think annoyed him, but of course the owner said he had to accomodate the gentleman who was there ahead of me. I thanked the old and congratulated the new owner, shook hands with everyone, and left with no boat.....again. Who knows the new owner may join this site. I wish him well. The Newport was exactly as described. I would have definately made it mine.

BUT.......I have my eye one another one......a member here. We'll see.
