I am sure many when in the market for a boat have read the advertisements using all the superlatives to describe how "immaculate" "in pristine condition" and "superbly maintained" the sellers boat is, only to expend your time to inspect the boat and then be disappointed when you discover that representations made are far from the truth. That disappointment you will not feel should you invest the time to inspect my boat.
