boat listed on Portland Or.Craigslist. On to the next find hopefully the next one is the right one.
I had the same thing happen When I was trying to buy a Hans Christian 33 sailboat prior to buying my trawler. I wanted the boat bad , really bad. The owner wanted 60k .I looked it over pretty good and offered him 30k without a survey and no questions. We agreed on 45k based on survey. The survey came back at 30k,lots of moisture in in decks and coach roof. He was hung up on getting 45 for it .I went up to 40 which was not smart. He would not come off 45. The day before I was going to look at the trawler ,He calls up and lowers the price to 43,500 ,not even splitting the difference. I bought the trawler the next day.This was over a year ago and the Hans Christian is still for sale. Hang in there your boat is waiting for you.
