    Thanks for that piece of info. I was thinking that
    many of the used boat sales people might be on
    commission and not want to do much show for those that
    are not ready to buy. I know that if I were getting
    paid by commission, I probably wouldn't like to spend
    a lot of time with people that weren't going to buy
    from me. I've been a little reluctant to take up their
    time.

    Thanks.
