No need to add to what others have said so far, except: ***Have the boat
inspected by a qualified surveyor*** before you complete the deal. This
newsgroup regularly has horror stories about people who didn't do that. Even
if he finds nothing seriously wrong, it's good to have another pair of eyes
look things over for small things you might not notice. People sometimes get
wrapped up in the emotions surrounding a boat, house or car, and totally
overlook features or conditions that will be major annoyances later.

For instance, there's an iron pipe in my basement, the trap for the bathroom
drains. It's exactly 6'1" from the floor. I'm 6'2". Not funny.

Yes it is.
