No, the seller of the fishing pontoon was a CPA with his professional office in his home, and a small sign shingle out front at the road. The pontoon, while maybe 10-years old, had been kept inside a huge, old, well maintained barn building ...... and $150 was his asking price ..... which I was happy to pay with no haggling.

Maybe the pontoon's age is what prompted him to go with the low price? Its' low price is what got me to make the one hour drive to go take a look-see.

As for the surfboard balance board, he was asking $150 ..... I offered $100 .... and he said ok. He seemed like a responsible and intelligent 30-year old guy. I had never seen one of these, before, and it was a medium short drive to Bristol.

Maybe he thought there is not much market for a surfboard balance practice board in this here NH area. Believe it was made in California.
