Unhappy Give me some sympathy please.....

So after all the work of getting us a larger boat slip, and many long hours trying to find the perfect boat I FINALLY had a 2002 z245 STC WITHIN MY REACH and I just barely missed it.

Only 16 ever made of the coveted (in my book) mid cabin open bows under 25' and it was within driving range, my price range, had the motor I wanted AND the wife gave it the ok. Just a coupe days late. Grrrrrr.....

Okay, rant off. Just had to vent. Probably once in a life time deal, and I figured you all would feel my pain.

If one of you got it I hope you thoroughly enjoy it. I know I would've!

    Ohhh, ouch!
    Maybe the buyer won't like it or will fall through or something. We thought we missed out on our MX-19 when it disappeared from CL a few hours after we decided to go for it. Thankfully the PO's wife talked him into re-listing it!

    On the other hand.. maybe you'd miss A Fist Full's cuddy anyway.

    Haha, I just figured out what you were referring to with "A Fist Full". That was the PO's name that I removed last year. The cuddy is pretty small on her, I'm guessing the mid cabin is still larger unfortunately. I just added kiddo number three so having the added bow room to spread out when friends are with us would sure be nice.

    I just got a very minor sense of hope. I got an email back from the selling agency saying "they are pretty sure its sold, but will know for sure in a couple days". Grrrr, this is almost worse! This weekend when I called it was for sure gone, now I have hopes that it COULD still happen but that they are just hedging their 'financing contingency'.

    Sigh, fingers crossed...

    That sucks, sorry to hear it... Sounds to me like it's time to go for the Z275ST instead, there seem to be a few more of those around!
