How did you handle your 'sight unseen' internet boat purchase? What did you
do right? What did you do wrong? Would you do it again?


Have the seller provide the survey and if you buy the boat, you would
reimburse him for the cost.


Not a good idea, and the buyer always pays regardless, at least with
larger boats. You want a surveyor who is working for you, no one
else.
