I've beed considering the move to a 280 SunSport. My local dealer, Russo's, has one that has been there since last year. I went to take a look at it. The boat was filthy, Eisinglass ripped, etc. I can see past the cosmetic needs, but the salesperson showed no interest in a sale. He could not answer questions regarding engine sizes, hours, history, etc. Nor did he try to find out!! I left there scratching my head.
I saw a similar 280 SS (more options) about an hour away, and decided I would continue my search. This boat has also been for sale since last year, and still had the shrink wrap on it. I got a brief history on the boat, and decided to put in an offer pending a survey. I gave him a verbal offer last week, and still have not recieved a return call whether it was accepted or refused. I even shot them a quick email and NOTHING.
I thought the boating market was soft. I can't attract any interest from a dealer OR broker?????? What is going on????
Is this what it means when people say "it's not meant to be"?
