September 2009Peter had contacted a Mainship dealer in New York quite a few months back. She called today and indicated that she knew someone who was privately selling their 390 Mainship, Year 2000 at $99,000US.
The price was too good to be true, and you know what they say about that! This is her in her slip.
We contacted the owner and spent the month going back and forth with photo's and questions, before finally setting everything into place for a trip to New York.
The day before departing, and having booked a car rental and hotel reservations, Peter contacted the owner for directions and any final matters to be discussed. Well, the final matter was that his wife had decided that she liked the boat after all (hasn't apparently liked it for several years, but has taken a sudden change of heart) and the boat is no longer up for sale. Boat #1 - gone.
And so it begins....the agony and the ecstasy of searching for the boat of your dreams. AAAGGGGHHHHHH!!!!
