All documents, including owner’s manual, clear title and a bill of sale on your name will be provided along with the boat.Also about payment and shipping(which is free of charge for you) I will use only eBay vehicle protection program so we can both be protected.I am affiliated at eBay and I have a purchase protection account for $20.000

If the boat is in Chicago I can pick it up.  It also looks like it’s on a trailer so that will make it easy to transport.  I will pay cash let me know where I can meet you to see the boat and the title.

As soon as we will start our transaction eBay will contact you by phone or email and they will give you all the details regarding the process.The boat is already at the shipping company in Atlanta,GA( i recently moved here because of my job and i took the boat with me ) sealed and ready for shipping but no problem because you can see,test drive and inspect the boat before purchasing. I have a contract with eBay so this deal must go through them. I’m very busy with my job and I`m left out of town so I can’t meet you in person, so this is the reason why I chose to sell my boat over the Internet. According with eBay you have 5 days from the time you receive the boat to inspect it and decide if you want to keep it or not.
Here is how it will work:
1. First of all I will need the following details from you:
- Full Name
- Full Shipping Address(home and cell phone number)
2. After I will receive the details from you, I will forward them to eBay.
3. After they will process your info, they will send us both invoices. The invoice will send you the details on how to make a refundable payment.
4. eBay will contact me and I will ship the boat to you. After you receive the boat you will have 5 days to test, verify and do whatever you want with the boat. If you will buy it, then I will receive the payment details from eBay so that I can pick up the money.
5. If you will decide that you will not buy the boat, eBay will refund the money and I will have the shipping company come pick up my boat. If you wish to make the transaction, please send me the necessary info so that we can proceed. I look forward to hear from you.
 
Thank you
