Opinions on this boat?

No opinion on the boat, but....

....when buying a boat on Ebay do you have the right to make the purchase
subject to a satisfactory visual inspection, structural and mechanical
survey, sea trial and compression test of the engine(s)?

If not, why would anyone buy a boat via Ebay auction?

Well, technically if you are the winning bidder you have entered a
contract to buy the boat. However, if the buyer wants to have it
inspected, the seller doesn't have too much choice but to concede,
afterall, the buyer doesn't HAVE to fork over the cash unless he/she
is satisfied.

*Technically* speaking does not carry weight in sales contracts or in the
Court, unless one were to say *technically* you should have got it in
writing.

I was only trying to offer some advice. Charlie. Take it or leave it....it
is your life .;-)
