Looks like a really nice
boat, but the location is the problem. I agree with others, buy a plane ticket, then get a qualified
surveyor to go over all the problems with the
boat.
Then... if the boat can be bought cheaply enough, I would have it put on a transport and moved to where it can be properly fixed, with your supervision. Move it to
Florida perhaps?
The only other thing I would caution you about is the fact that it's a 16 year old 58 foot cat. Even if you bought it as a mint condition boat, it would be expensive to own. My extremely lightly used 2008 48 foot cat is constantly consuming time and
money to fix things that break on 10 year old boats. Granted, this boat started out life as a better boat than my FP, but still, many of the systems are of the exact same brand and quality. The cost of maintaining a boat also goes up exponentially with size, so a 58 footer wasn't
cheap to own on day one, much less now. Just something to think about.
