Hahahaha don't hold you breath on me! I got everything together,surveyed, insured for $850 a full year with Foremost, binded and ready to go - sent all the paperwork to Essex Credit with the approval letters on July 1st... get an email on the 2nd saying its too late to get it done that week. Ok. Finally email them on July 9th asking whats up? The package had to go to their underwriting to get buttoned up...last week. No answer. Again on the 11th. No answer. Yesterday afternoon I sent an email to their upper management asking about it. No answer. Boat owner asking whats going on? I have ... wait for it... no answer. I have my downpayment money, my survey, the boat is insured in my name as we speak, and I haven't gotten any reply in any form from the people who approved the loan and required I do all of this. Trying not to loose my cool, but NO, I still do not have the boat.

Bill, if I was going on omens, Id have given up whenI tried to get financing a month ans a half ago I think its a test to see how badly I want this boat. Well, If its not mine by this weekend, Im sending a thanks but no thanks letter and going to lick my wounds somwhere... probably on my freshly sprayed and turn key mint boat I currently own

UPDATE: sea trialed today, all is well...needs a bunch of TLC but runs like gangbusters and is all there. I like small projects with big endings like this and Ill actually be able to have fun with it right away! The knuckleheads at Essex finally go their $hit together and my stuffs all done and coming together on Monday. I will most likely get her on Wednesday 650hp through dry pipes always sounds so dam good

heres a few

Good thread

[Darkhorse468]

Very long, drawn out and educating process to say the least...and I didn't even buy an expensive boat! I am also very disappointed in the service I got from Essex Credit to say the least...was expecting a much different experience from an international mega lender like them, but Im getting my boat and that's what counts here Soon to come will be the thread about the TLC she needs and the actual fun Im gonna have doing it because its not a total restoration/megabucks rebuild and the end result will be my dream boat that didn't break my bank!

[Darkhorse468]

Finally got the check Saturday at noon. Too late to go down but Sunday was the plan.... right up until my boat buddy/towing partner blew me off after having me wait until 1pm So its all little old me going down tomorrow and getting this done and thank God. Thanks for the loan that took a month and half to finalize a check for, I guess. Pix tomorrow night biotches!! Wish me luck too...after reading the trailer tire blow out issues and my 100mile tow along the Mass Pike, etc.

If a Ham Sandwich causes your blowout on the Pike, it wasn't mine.

[Darkhorse468]

Its a triple axle trailer so that means I have five more to go And Id probably eat the sandwich too
