Anyway, the offer has been accepted, subject to him successfully selling

You should put a (short) time limit on that one. The market is slow
and his sale could stretch out, with your boat off the market. Better
to have a contingency that says he has x days to obtain satisfactory
financing, otherwise no deal or he pays penalties from his deposit for
extensions.


I wasn't very clear or detailed about the offer. The closing (if it occurs)
has to be within 35 calendar days from yesterday per the purchase agreement.
With our signed acceptance, he is required to submit a deposit to the broker
and his current boat is under contract/agreement with a scheduled closing on
Dec 10. The financing, survey and sea trial are pretty standard, so I think
it's a reasonable time frame.

This offer came out of the blue .... I had officially taken the Navigator
off the market as of November 15th. As much as I like the boat I don't want
to keep two of them and in the current market decent offers are becoming far
and few between.


I forbid you to sell the Navigator until I can talk Mrs. Wave into it.
Or take a ride on it.

Ok - ok - I got a carried away there - sorry. :)

Good luck with it, but I still think you are going to miss it.

Now, if someone happens along and buys the GB as well ... and apparently
there is a serious, interested party for it as well, I've got my eye on
something else. It may take some doing to get it approved by the Admiral,
however.


Hmmmmm - mega yacht?
