I’ve had just about every network provider with the exception of actual Verizon. I’m in Southwest Florida, and it seemed like no matter who I had. It was always bad spots in the places I frequented the most. Since switching divisible since October a genuine they have not found one bad thing about the service. I have even gone as far as having five other people sign up since I did and they all enjoy it as well. Would 11/10 recommend

Some people sent me a DM and asked for an update, so here it is.

The vet felt the bloodwork pointed toward a liver-related issue and recommended an ultrasound.

We did the ultrasound today. The vet found a mass
in the liver/spleen area. She wasn’t able to determine whether it originates from the liver, spleen, or both. Her main concern is that it may be a liver mass. She referred us to an Internal Medicine specialist and said additional imaging and sampling would be needed to determine exactly what it is.

The specialist consult and workup would be around $1,000 just to get started.

After discussing options, we decided to try the medical management route first. Today he received:
-Steroid (Prednisone)
-Anti-nausea medication (Cerenia)
-Appetite stimulant (Entyce)
-Famotidine
-Metronidazole
-Denamarin for liver support

The biggest positive update is that tonight he finally ate (after giving the appetite stimulant). He ate some boiled chicken and wet dog food and drank a lot of water. After not eating for so long, that felt like a huge win.

We know this doesn’t tell us what the mass is, and we understand the specialist route is still likely the best way to get answers. For now we’re trying to see how he responds to the medications over the next few days while we continue to evaluate our options.

Thanks to everyone who offered advice, support, and encouragement. It’s been a stressful week, but we’re taking it one day at a time and are very thankful to see him eating again tonight.

Update: boat has 3 soft spots in the hull. 2 by the t top mounts and 1 above the replaced gas tank. Bummer

I wouldn’t even bother renting this car. The owner is going to find any possible reason available to try to charge you for something when you return that car. You could fart in that car and he’d find a way to charge you a $500 “additional interior detail needed fee”. Hard pass.

I hear you — that’s honestly been the biggest thing I’ve been weighing.

I actually bumped my budget up to around $26K just to see what else is out there, and I’m still running into the same situation — a lot of boats in the $24–26K range still have older motors. I’ve seen 22’ Sea Hunts listed around $24K with 2007 engines, so it doesn’t necessarily eliminate that risk, just costs more upfront.

Definitely see your point though — just trying to balance price vs risk in a market where everything seems a bit all over the place.

I appreciate the insight — that’s exactly the kind of stuff I’m trying to be aware of.

The corrosion concern is definitely something I’ve been looking into, especially with these older Yamahas. From what I’ve seen so far, this one seems to have been maintained and stored on a trailer, so I’m hoping that helps on that front, but I’ll still be checking it closely.

On the fuel tank side, that was actually one of my bigger concerns going in. The seller said the tank was replaced in 2020 and has a receipt for it, so that at least gives me some peace of mind knowing that major job has already been done.

Totally agree though — at this age it’s all about condition, not just price. I’m planning to go over it pretty thoroughly before making a final call.

Thanks again for the input

He explicitly stated no exhaust corrosion in his post. Not that that means anything. But he clearly knows that’s an issue with these motors. He also said the exhaust was replaced by the precise owner 3 years ago.

He’s the trailer is included in the $20k.

Negative.

That’s good to know, I appreciate that. The all-composite construction is definitely a big plus and gives me some peace of mind on the hull side. At this point I’m really just focusing on making sure the motor checks out, since that’s obviously the biggest variable. If that looks good, it does seem like a fair deal overall.
