What do you all know about the Sea Sprite boat. This is a 1983 18 foot model with mercury engine and alpha one outdrive. Thanks!!

Re: Help - auction ending & need advice

Dont be afraid to ask the tough questions on ebay. I always ask;<br />1.Do you have good title, not untransfered titled from someone else?<br />2.Was it wet during the photos (oil, water...)?<br />3.Will it float, run, what works, what doesn't?<br />4.Is the floor soft, does it move when crossing a wave?<br />5.Is the wiring a wreck?<br />6.etc.....<br />Remember if it is on ebay that means the odds are it did not sell when they tried to do a local listing for some reason. I have always found on ebay the truth is hard to extract from some of the sellers, and you may drive a long distance to find a boat with a lot of problems you forgot to ask about, or was misled about.

I would not hesitate to buy a lot of stuff on ebay but a 21 year old boat ain't one of them.
