"tell me about the hull, what is the condition, painted or original
gelcoat, below water line, on an on.

Does anyone have a list of questions? A boat buyers list?


They'll lie through their teeth. It's why there are so many marine
surveyors searching for the TRUTH about its condition. With thousands
of dollars at stake if the lies overcome the skepticism, surveyors are
the answer. You can usually bargain down the price, once you confront
the seller with the findings, far further than the surveyor cost
you.....or you can simply pay the surveyor and walk away.



I've only had occasion to use a surveyor three different times and was
disappointed each time. I knew as much as any of them and I'm no
expert by any means. I suppose if you have never owned a boat, a
surveyor is the way to go, but check out the surveyor as thoroughly as
you would have the surveyor check out your new boat!

Legally, I don't know that children can be saddled with a judgment based
upon their parents' actions.

They can't. However, they can have an inheritance disappear before it
gets to them.

Inheritance? What's that?

Let your unattended, anchored out boat crash into the lawyer's yacht and
let's test that theory.

It's that dead corpse that's been putrefying over the last several
months. That sudden evaporation of trillions of dollars killed the
beast. Mind, there's still an egg or two out there, but they're nesting
up out of our reach ;-)

Ah. I wondered what that smell was.
