Anyhow, lowball lowball lowball. The worst that can happen is they say no. Be a "bottom feeder" if you're buying a boat right now.

If and when the day comes I elect to sell my boat the ad will contain a line that reads
"Lowballers not welcome"
I have been around buying and selling for many years and had my share of dealing with lowballers, those individuals looking for the "Killer Deal" always want something for nothing and think they are doing you a favour by making an offer. I refuse to do any kind of business with them, they are a waste of my time.
I will take the time to negotiate a fair price with someone who comes along with a fair offer that does not insult me. I will also explain all the modifications I have made, all the extra equipment I have added and any other relevant options/changes that impact the price. I will also offer a test sail and give the serious buyer time to decide and go over every inch of the boat with them. I will treat a serious buyer with the respect they deserve but I will have absolutely no respect for some "bottom feeder" looking to get something for nothing. I will simply tell the bottom feeder to take a hike, not interested.
