Danger, Danger, Danger!!! Serious boat-itis....

Been going on 6 weeks. We've looked at lottsa boats....been fun!

Make the sale contingent upon the survey results being satisfactory to
you! You'll need it for insurance anyway and it could help in the
negotiations.

Refundable without question. We're only doing a mechanical survey. The
hull is in terrific shape.

If you start having *any* second thoughts, walk away. We did that a
bunch of times. I later discovered that each of those boats had major
and minor failings that we didn't see immediately. Xan, on the other
hand, looked pretty ugly at first, but we both kept wanting to revisit
her.

No 2nd thoughts whatsoever. It felt right when we saw it and the next day.

There are a lot of great boats out there, and more "almost great" ones
-- for you and your intended purposes.


Agreed. Thanks for your comments.
