Anyone around Tampa?

I'm (again) looking at a 2001, this time close to Tampa. Since I live in Costa Rica, it's sort of complicated to take a look at it myself...
So, is there anyone from that area willing and able to check it out for me? Ofcourse I'll compensate for time/gas and whatever other expenses made.

Thanks!

Chris...you beat me to it...was just gonna offer from here in Lake Wales. We'll see what he says...2 heads are better than one...maybe I'll meet ya there and we can give him 2 opinions.

Wow, this is fantastic! Thanks already guys!
I'm gonna try to send both an email, but so far the emailsystem hasn't worked for me. If you don't receive anything, can you please email me at sander(at)flyzone-cr.com?

To be a bit more specific: the boat is located in Odessa.

Gonna send the messages now!

Edit: skibum, your e-address is not specified, so I couldn't send you a message. One to jbear has been sent.

Hey guys, Im out here... sorry, I have not been able to look in much lately. I am certainly close enough to go look at a boat if the info is provided... I'll take my check book with me! JUST KIDDING...J bear... sorry brother, I have no recollection of an e-mail from you because I would have definately responded. By the way I am planning to be at Jim McCormicks this week end for a record capability tournament. Ya'll keep me posted and we will go look at the 2001

Trip, I think that they are agreeing to look at it.... Not deliver it.. .. Now that would be a fuel bill.

Here is the story. I have talked to the boat owner and have scheduled a visit/inspection this Sunday after Church. I spoke with owner regarding specifics of boat... floor/stringers engine etc. I shall report back. I have a question of curiosity though.... How are going to ship it... U.P.S.?

Good luck trip...you sure are in good hands with BJ checking out this boat for you. I did talk to BJ tonite by phone...was good to catch up with him..great guy.

Update: I called the owner this morning about 10:30 A.M. He said some work related issues had come up and he did not know what time he would be free to show me the boat, he speculated 6 P.M. I knew that would be too late in the day for me but I gave him my cell number and requested he call me when he could. I was hopeful we could skin this cat earlier than that but it did not happen. The boat is about one hours drive away for me. So when he called me it was shortly after 5 P.M. he was on his way home. I told him I would try and hook up with him Tuesday or Wednesday of next week.
Sorry it did not happen today but when I do catch up with the owner I will take photos and give the boat a good looking over. Hope you can be patient...bj

Nothing new yet I guess?

Thanks for the update. And I do appreciate your efforts a lot, don't get me wrong!

Hey Skibum, thanks for your message.
Nope, noone has seen it yet. If you have time and would be willing to check it out please send me an email. And/or maybe contact hasbeenskier, as he might know something about availability of the seller and probably has some more info about the condition of the boat.

TRIP, sorry I keep missing ya, but im going to call the fella in Odessa tomorrow (thur) to try and set up a meeting for friday or saturday. email me @ skibum1110@aol.com to go over what you want to see and know.......Chris

OK, I'll wait for the details, though I think I know what I should know.

Thanks incredibly much guys! You'll be my guest whenever you're in Costa Rica.

You covered it. I do not want to come across as unkind with regard to speaking of any man's Nautique. The ony thing I have to add is NOBODY should tick off Skibum1110 because the guy looks like a pro wrestler with a hand shake like a bench vise.

Hasbeen; Sounds like we got it covered here in Florida...Eddie and skibum.
