Default How much to offer below MSRP (for a Tayana) ?

I am not sure what you are saying, rolf. What I am saying is if you want my
services, it is $200/day from the time my feet hit the tarmac to the time I
head out to the airport on the way back, plus expenses. I'm a good guy, Rolf,
for most won't do a delivery with the owner onboard.

A friend of mine based in the British Virgin Islands
does a number 'deliveries' such as that but gets paid
around $1K - $1.5K US per week PLUS expenses.


$200/day, plus expenses, door to door.


I was asking around for somebody to help me sail a 45 ft boat back
from BVI to florida. I am a very experience sailor, this is the second
boat I will own and I have been sailing for 20 years. So I am the
captn and I just need a pair of hands to let me sleep. This might be
a one week trip, and was told that it would be relatively easy to fing
some one for $1000 plus expenses.
In your case I think they would consider this a "delivery". Many
deliveries are made with the owner on board sharing in the work. This
does not make it cheaper.
In addition if you expect them to give you sailing lessons, this would
be extra.
I think that it will be difficult to find somebody who can take
responsibility of the boat and expect them to do it for free. Since
you don't know how to sail nobody will accept that you can
responsibility for the boat.
