How long should it take for a purchase to be completed when buying a
cruising sailboat.

First, find boat and visit boat. Then, go back for second visit. Meet with
owner and discuss the price etc..
Once a price has been agreed to ; draw up purchase and sales,, put money
down,,, try to find a surveyor ,,, get surveyor to come and look at boat
,,,, make repairs based on survey ,, usually means going back and forth with
owner...

So, how long should all this take?

A month? Two months?

I was just wondering .. no particular reason.
