In other words, the buyer has to pay for a second survey for
insurance? What a deal!


No comment? I guess ripping people off for a "non-insurance
survey" is part of how you got rich?

Tell us exactly how you determine a boat's value, Bubbles.
Inquiring minds want to know.

.... I also do a
pre-survey so I can deal with outside surveyors after a deposit is left
on boats sold outside the program. We determine value like most other
brokers. We simply know the local market and communicate with other
brokers. Wanna know what a late 80's Tartan 34 sells for here? I know
the two boats that sold recently and we make notes in NADA on that.
Simple stuff.


In other words, you don't do anything at all that a
half-diligent owner could do for himself.
