Do they pre-sell them or import and then sell?I'd spend too much time fishing down there. Tough business the two who currently do it in BC get so many bad reviews/lawsuits as every old boat is like a box of rotten chocolates, you never know what you are going to get.
Import/fixup/sell. Norm in van and Pearson in Sooke. Probably presell?Do they pre-sell them or import and then sell?
