We made an offer on the Bayliner 2855 discussed in previous thread (http://www.boatered.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=147697) We made an offer on Friday, and they called back today with a counter. I told them my offer from Friday was fair and I was not going to budge. Broker just called back and said the offer was accepted. Survey and sea trail will be tonight, and if all goes well, we will hopefully be taking possession soon.

A very special "Thank You" to Woodsong for his great advice and taking time out of his schedule to run some comps for me, without me ever asking him to do it. We have emailed back and forth and I hope I can repay him some way some day.
 
Best of luck, hope the survey and sea trial go well.
 
That is awesome news! Hope it works out and hope the info helped!!!! Keep us posted.
 
Hope the sea trial goes well and you become a new boat owner. Congrats.
 
Sea trail went well, survey went great. The surveyor said it is the cleanest used boat he has seen in a long time. He said the interior and cushions are just like new and he couldn't believe they are original. All paperwork was provided documenting indoor storage every winter and all maintenance being done by trained marine mechanics locally. It is nice to know that they were the original owners and have never had it in salt water or left outside unprotected. All systems worked perfectly, the boat started right up and got up and ran nicely. Also included in the sale will be around 100 gallons of fuel since the gas gauge popped right up to full. That will help take the bite out of everything else, taxes, title, insurance, survey, etc etc. We have a few loose ends to tie up, but the surveyor said go ahead with the sale and his report should be to us in the next day or two. Hopefully it will be a done deal by this weekend or early next week. It needs to be waxed, and we need to clean where everyone's dirty feet were on the deck tonight, but other than that it is ready to hit the water.

Thanks again for all of the help and good advice. I think we paid a little too much, and the owner swears he should've got more money, so that probably means it was a good deal for everyone.

Here is a picture of the Admiral with her soon to be new ship. (NOTE: The picture was taken directly into the sun, making for some weird spots on the picture that weren't actually there)
