With wife accepting but not wanting...I made an offer on a "new 2012 leftover"! Waiting patiently to see if they accept my offer, but boat is not local. I won't be going higher, the boat is two years old even being new. Deal has to make sense.

For hopeful purpose, it is a Yacht Blue SX 240! Not getting my hopes up until it is in the barn!

I'll bet you can move the bow stop up an inch or two.

Angle it a touch and it will be fine. You don't need much.

Looks like were $1k apart. To reduce it, I pay for the battery, fire ext., etc. Also no orientation ride But dealer sounds like good people and attempting to meet my offer. We will see...

Glad to hear you're getting back on the water. The 1.8 folks are getting a great resource.

They will not walk away for $1K if the boat is over $20K. You can let the air out of the tires to fit the boat in the garage. Good luck and I always say that if something works out it was for a good reason. It is a buyer's market

I think Mel's deal is his length, well not HIS length, thats a subject for a different thread, but the length of the boat and trailer to fit in the old barn...... A slight angle if there is room should give him at least 3 extra inches, and who among us wouldn't go for that?
