I bought a new-to-me Ranger in the off season that I found at a dealer on Craigs List. I travelled over 600 miles to finish up negotiations and ended up bringing it home. The dealer was first rate and we were able to close the deal pretty quickly. The key to me is to be honest and forthright with what you have and want; and finding a good dealer. We communicated by email and phone several times, and I gave him $100 holding money during negotiations when I was confident I wanted that boat. That being said, I would have walked and forfeited the money if I wasn't satisfied. He warrantied both motors and was able to provide history data on the main motor. Happy so far.
