[quote=MN3][quote=gobigkahuna]I've been running into quite a few people who don't understand technology very well or just live a long ways from where the boat is kept. Some are in their 70's and no longer able to enjoy their toys so are selling them. Some might not own a smart phone or if they do they may not know how to save / send pictures. I had to walk away from one boat because the seller didn't have an email address and his daughter (who posted it on Craigslist) lived 1000 miles away.[/quote]
All good points! However ... if they can't provide a fair amount of data/images ... it's a total crap shoot
[b]most [/b] boats sitting in a field for years is gonna have some delam issues, spent rigging and tramp, or a shot trailer at the least [/quote]

You live in the center of the east coast - you should not have to drive all that far to find the perfect boat
If this was posted as a general question: I personally would never buy a boat i didn't take for a test sail - there are 1000's of ways for it to go south and "Caveat emptor" - there are no "take -backsies"[/quote]
