I tried for close to two months to buy a 27 Skagit Orca that was for sale in Vancouver (I'm in Victoria). I was the first caller so the seller assured me I would get first option to buy. Week after week I would call the seller and ask when I could see it,he would tell me it was in the water and he wanted to pull it and clean it up before viewing.He was an older guy so I understood his slow action (for a while). Each time I called I told him I was very interested and could see past the dirt if he would just let me see it.This went on for a month and a half and then I get a call from him telling me he has accepted a full price offer,sight unseen,from an American .I'm really pissed off but let it go thinking it just wasn't meant to be after all the grief.He then calls me 2 weeks later and tells me the American didn't come through with the money so I could have it if still interested. I was really pissed off now and told him what he could do with his boat. In the end it was a good decision not to buy it,it was a dream boat for me ,but too much boat for me to handle and it had an inboard -outboard which I will never own again. My 21 Aquasport w/225 Yamaha has turned out to be a perfect fit.
