Re: Manuel's boat - June 14, 2012
Greetings Mr. Epstein,
Per the Bill of Sale, Manuel paid $20,000 for a 30 foot 1996 Spectre catam=ran boat. Online the price for this boat ranged in price from $29,900 (Cra=glist.org - located in New Jersey) to $47,500 (Boattrader.com - located in W=st Palm FL)
Two online sites I looked at for boat sales in Tortola BVI, BoatshedBvi.co= and Apolloduck.com, had no listings for a Spectre boat.
I called Carlos to find out if he knew what marina Manuel was using for hi= boat. As of about a month ago, the boat was sitting on a trailer in his p=rents' yard.
Manuel may have worked in the BVI at some point and probably found out abo=t the boat, not through an ad, but through a friend on Tortola who knew Jul=an B. Maduro, the person listed on the Bill of Sale as the seller.
I can research the newspaper/classified ads publication in the BVI, and se= if they have a history of an ad for this boat. I found a listing for a Ju=ian Maduro in the BVI section of the phone book: 1-284-494-2176. Would you=like me to call and inquire if he has/had a boat for sale?
Respectfully,
Daphne
Yes call
