why thank you wayne, for your advice.. now go ...

you sound like some of the men around here, dumb, fat, and loud.


Janet, please take this in the spirit in which it is offered: Wayne gave you
good advice. So did Wilbur, TMT, JGanz and others who escape my memory. As I
am not a "person of penis," perhaps you will accept my advice. :-)

The survey is for the buyer's protection. As a buyer, the last thing in the
world that you want is for the seller to have anything whatsoever to do with
that survey. If the seller pays even one penny of the survey expense, the
surveyor is working for two people who have conflicting interests. The
seller wants the surveyor to find nothing wrong with the boat. The buyer
wants to find out every little thing that is going to cost money to fix or
replace.

Good luck with your search,
Karin
