I've asked for additional pics with varying responses. I've gotten the "Sure, no problem" and then never heard from them again. I've also had them try to argue with me "Oh, don't worry, it's really bristol".
Of course, those are signs to walk away. I've also had them insist I come see the boat, even after I've explained I'm a thousand miles away and would like to make the determination if the trip would even be worth it.
The last local boat I went to see had beautiful pics and the writeup was very well done. Made the call, set the appointment and showed up. While we were walking the dock to the boat I was told "Now you may see a few things that need taken care of, but the boat has "good bones". Uh oh....
The boat was a complete disaster. Neglected and filthy. He then admits the pictures were 8 years old. After 15 minutes I wanted off of the boat in fear it would sink while we were on it (yes, it was that bad).
Be prepared to kiss a bunch of toads out there.
