1) Look over the boat and decide if she's for you.
2) Make an offer, which is PENDING SURVEY and SEA TRIAL
3) Give a deposit. It costs money to do a sea trial. Often
the boat is
on the hard. They are not going to launch and take you for
a sail if
you're not serious about buying; hence the deposit. Either
the
yard/service dept. will pay or the owner. Sometimes the
expense is
shared. A licensed captain is often used for the sea trial
at major
brokers.


Do you know a licensed captain, Capt. ?
