Interesting. I just called Barrows Argo to make an appointment for Saturday, as I couldn't make it last Saturday due to my wife's eye surgery, and the business phone was not in service. I guess I need to find another dealer that can deliver the Argo in a trailer. I also need to find someone who can alter the plastic windows like a tent. I guess it's a good thing I am waiting for the 2018 models and didn't put down a deposit.

That is always the way! You get your hopes up and it rains down !!
Stay positive as it will happen before you know it.
I believe I spoke with Barrows a while back when I was looking for an Argo. He had a couple of used ones on Craigslist and he had a contact number there on the ad that he answered when I called (I believe it was his cell phone)Originally Posted by scimanstev
He still has an ad for a 2013 6x6 on Craigslist so I would try the number on that.
As far as the canvas top goes any boat canvas company can do what you want with the windows. I have used Village Canvas in Meredith and he comes highly recommended...not sure how busy he is but worth a call...
Thank you. I know I will make this happen one way or another. I didn't watch 3000 Argo videos for nothing. ......

I know...there's never enough video!Thank you. I know I will make this happen one way or another. I didn't watch 3000 Argo videos for nothing. ......

Did you end up trying to contact Barrows through the Craigslist ad?Thank you. I know I will make this happen one way or another. I didn't watch 3000 Argo videos for nothing. ......

I also have done business with a small dealer in New England that seems to want to work with customers.
They have sales going on right now but know you're looking to get an '18 model.
If you want the name of the dealer PM me as I'm not sure I can promote a dealer on this forum if they are not a sponser
I just got a call from Barrows. He said he was switching over to his cell phone. I feel better, as he is only 1:45 away from me. I made an appointment to visit him next Saturday, so maybe this will work out just fine. At any rate, I will get a chance to actually see an Argo in person. Up to now, it has only been pictures and videos. I will see what I see. Now, I have to start mowing my 5 acres, and cleaning my snake cages. My excitement is growing as August 13th gets closer, and the new models are released. Once I get my Argo, not much will be able to keep me out of it.
I do have 8 snakes, and have kept them since I was 8 years old, about the same time the Banana Splits first showed me a 6X6.

Cool beans...what kind of snakes do you keep? I like them but have no desire to keep them...they are fascinating creatures. I have watched a lot of youtubes from "viperkeeper" very interesting how close he gets to his Gaboons and it seems as though they are well within fatal bite distance! I guess he knows how to handle them well enough!
Keep us posted on your Argo purchase adventure!
Experience with snakes does allow me to read a snakes body language, and stay safe. None of my snakes are venomous, although I have dealt with venomous species. I have one female albino Burmese python, one regular phase female Burmese python, one male and one female Northern Pine snakes, one male mid-baja rosie boa, one female red tail boa constrictor, one female Dumerials boa, and one one female Taiwan Beauty snake.
Saturday is the day, I see my first Argo!
Steve
