I'm new to
buying a large sailboat, not to sailing. I maybe making an offer soon on a
Hunter 42
passage; and I hope to find insight to the
purchase process. I will look at a few boats using the recommendations outlined by Don Cassy in his book "Sailboat
Maintenance..."
I'm a bit troubled that I need to make an offer " subject to inspection" before I the feedback of a professional
surveyor to help me determine the value of the
boat. I have been watching the market, trying to
learning the market. I my not have been focused, watching to many different models and types of boats, and some seller may have unrealistic values.
If I make an offer that to high based on the surveyor's report, do I just back out of the deal with my deposit? I'm assuming this is like
buying a home, if you don't like the
inspection, I walk with my deposit. It a bit unsettling.
Should I have my own
broker? Any
advice would be appreciated.
