If the pre purchase inspection checks out on Friday, I’ll be buying this boat. Saturday I plan on meeting the owner with funds and he can sign over the title.

Then the fun starts, I’m bringing the boat from the Atlantic side to the Gulf via the Okeechobee waterway, the ditch. I’m renting a car one way and a friend has volunteered to go along. The plan is to hopefully leave West Palm by noon and head north to Stuart and get on the waterway. Since we will be getting a late start our goal is to make it half way and spend the night, then make it home Sunday.

So we are taking a boat that we know little about on a approximately 200 mile trip. It will probably cost me $850-$1000 with fuel, Marina, hotel, rental car, and who knows what else, vs $500 to have it towed over.

But what fun is that.
