I just got my 97 malibu vlx from So Cal. I live in Minnesota and the selection is really limited to what is in my price range. So I found a boat that I would consider buying but it was in So Cal, about 2000 miles away. I recently posted about buying a boat without seeing it first and a couple people responded and one guy offered to take a look at it for me. I compensated him for his time and he went to look at it for me and did a very good job. Thanks a ton Darin. So I put my boat on uShip and within about 24 hours I got 4-6 bids on it and was pretty happy that there were a number of people with good feedback that would pull my boat on its own trailer back to Minnesota. The price I expected was going to be just under $2000, $1 a mile. I was suprised to see that a couple of bids were almost half that. So I accepted a bid with a guy that had some positive feedback and could not be happier. He picked it up on a monday night and I had the boat in my front yard on Thursday morning. He called me with updates twice a day about where he was and how everything was going. All in all I could not be happier with how the whole process went.
