Buddy Goes Yacht Shopping
Written by leroy on September 27th, 2008Well, I’m going to tell you about the latest quest of one of my best and longest time friends. I’m not going to give his real name -let’s just call him Bud. I will tell you that Bud is a senior citizen like myself and is known to have occasional episodes of crazy behavior - pretty much like all of us old folks.
The thing is that Bud recently came in to a fair amount of money. (That’s a great story in itself as he received almost 2 million dollars for an 850 square foot house that his parents had bought about 65 years ago for less than $5000). Anyway, Bud got this money and decided he wanted to buy a used luxury motor yacht - said he had always wanted one. He won’t admit it but I think a good part of his desire was based on jealousy over the fact that I have owned a yacht for many years although my yacht is a 22 foot open fisherman that many people would probably make a point of telling me is not really a yacht - but what do they know?
The point is that Bud quickly found out that buying a yacht took a lot more time and attention to details than just going down to the corner to buy a used car. After spending a few months getting the proverbial run-around from a number of yacht sellers who he quickly discovered were every bit as snaky as the average used car seller, Bud found a guy named Steve Jackson that had been in the boating and yacht business for almost 40 years and agreed to help bud find some luxury motor yachts for sale that might fit his needs and his budget
PS-I hope none of you were effected by the tropical storm Edouard recently as I was here in Houston which has made trying to find a Houston TX roofing contractor almost impossible.
