Buying a used charter boat.

Im interested in buying a boat thru the used charter boat market after phase out.
Does anyone have any experience purchasing from companies such as the Moorings or Sunsail.

Re: Buying a used charter boat.

Hi
I bought a 40 leopard from moorings and had good luck .
The survey missed a couple of things but over all ok
I bought the boat in mar and took delivery in July.
If you do something like that haul the boat again and have the sail drives and keels checked . My keels had some slack or was loose and my sail drives were almost rusted trough . So have the boat hauled and checked again.
I completely added a gen set .electric winch,and digital electronics .and air
40K later had perfect boat.
And yes I would do it again. And now I know a lot more to check for
Good luck
Michael

Was the process to 'reflag' the cat what you expected or more/less painful?
How about a lazily written short list of the >a lot more to check for items.
Thank you
