How to buy a porteboat in Florida

[avb3]

1 - answer ad by phoning individual
2 - get instructions to rural area, double check on Google Maps, see that the two do not match, get clarification.
3 - meet to see boat
4 - as seller bends over to demonstrate something on boat, gun falls out of pocket
5 - spend the next half hour discussing guns, not boat
6 - get discount on boat because "you're a good guy"

Perfect!!

Nice find.

I'm hoping to find a cruiser who'll help me get one down here. If I can find someone with room on board for a Porta-bote who'll bring it down with them cruising south, I'll trade them a West Marine RIB for it when they get to Providenciales. I figure the RIB is worth an easy $2K and I know they could find the Porta-bote in Florida on eBay for $500. They'd have the Portabote as a backup on the way down, and the RIB from here on.

Any cruisers heading south who need a RIB? West Marine 3.5 for "$500".

Whaddaya think?
