The owner (seller) is from Itlay and builds boats. I guess he rewired the entire helm station with a great profile of the boat with LED lights that indicate nav lights, bildge pumps, etc...on or off. I guess he had some connection to Hatteras (sp?) as you can see the hardware is similar.

Update.....
So....I get a call today from the "Broker"
He tells me he didn't get around to getting the seller to sign the contract and he "got another offer over the weekend" and was meaning to call me about that but didn't get around to it until today! :icon_bs:
I had Ed Cozzi lined up to do the Survey, bought a plane ticket to FLL and was ready to rock on the deal....now I am told the "other offer" was for 4K more and he just wanted to know if I would like to increase my offer?
WTFO? --Thought I was dealing with a Professional and not a car salesman.

Curious as to what everyone thinks....
I make an OFFER....it is "accepted"
You sign a contract send a "good faith deposit" (big hurry to get that) line up a fellow SERIOUSOFFSHORE guy (Rick) to go take a look, then line up a top rated Surveyor, get bids lined up for Transport, get your hopes up and get excited about buying a boat--then a call comes in and your listen as the Broker explains that since he got your offer another one came in LATER (3 days later) and he will "have" to present both offers.
Gee-I made plans, lined up a surveyor, bought a plane ticket, hotel, rental car, and now I feel like I am dealing with someone from National Liquidators!
--And I get an email "not to cancel any plans" as the Broker may be able to "work around this problem"
HA! HA! --what is this April fools?
Sick to my stomach--

Call his bluff Randy. Tell him your offer stands for 24 hrs, but when the other offer falls through, yours drops 4k.

Randy,
Sorry to hear this, I thought Travis was a straight shooter, and came across as one of the better ones in the marine industry, but I would call his bluff, unless of course you dont want to take a chance at losing it.

Good idea ......
tell the jerkoff you want to do deal direct with the owner, and he can get his cut from him when the deal is done, and he has 24 hours to do just that. If the owner is in Italy how can get a sig that fast anyways... any broker that's honest would recognize you have a good faith deal in the works, and he would have told the other party that a deal was in progress, obviously he's not honest.. post his name here if the deal sours...

The owner lives on the boat in Miami 6 months out of the year, and is there right now, I know where it is, and would take Randy there, but it is a gated community, and need vendor access which the broker has

I would need to find an Italian speaker (I know some hot Brasilian girls that speak Portugese....so that is an option--hahahah)
The Broker is to call me back at 2:30 ....so we will see what he says.
Like women, and fish....plenty more boats in the Ocean.
