Had a great chat with Chris on the phone this afternoon! He has a lot of contacts with boat owners looking to sell that aren't necessarily online, knows some of them personally as well. Having a local dealer for support also makes great sense. We'll be in touch quite a bit over the next week or so before he heads across the border...
It's unfortunate that we're just now dealing with a much-loved family member who was recently admitted to our Palliative Care center, but I hope that I can arrange things so as not to miss a great opportunity. Thank you everyone for all your help and advice - I'll be out on the water soon, with any luck.
