Dang Dusty...I feel for ya. Since you didn't get it though, I'm glad they're grandfather got it and they're keeping it in the family.

Same thing happened to me 3-4 years ago. 14' fiberglass hull with an upstack 540 sitting on a trailer here in Central Florida for $1500. I seen it on the Airboat Trader and thought, no way...must be a typo.

Teresa made me call just to be sure. The guy told me he just sold it and even though it wasn't none of my business, I had to ask. When he said he got $1500 for it, my heart sunk. All I can say is hopefully somebody that needed it more than me got it.

I called on that upstack boat when it was on the trader for less then 1 hour and it was gone, had thought it had to be a typo but hoping it wasn't. Someone jumped on that one real quick.

Sorry to hear ya missed out on it D-BREWSTER, would have been sweet.
