Ooh, that is a beautiful cat. You better hope I don't find a few hundred thousand dollars *soon*. Good luck.

*Extremely unlikely*

Guys, and maybe some of you can give me contacts of surveyor in Perth/Fremantle, that can check her there?

Re: Buying Advice on Possible Boat Issues

Nothing about the notes would scare me off.

If you can have someone independent take a look without spending a lot, that's a good idea with or without the notes.

Another thought: Ask if they can do a video call from the boat...this way they can do a live walk thru and you can ask to see any areas you are concerned about. It won't take the place of a personal inspection and a survey but much harder to gloss over if you see something and ask them in real time to get a close up video of it.

I’ve been watching Sonra over the last three months spoke to the broker who said make an offer and little else. I asked for a video showing present condition.
A couple of months later a video turned up on their site but I am still suspicious since video Looks like it was made soon after launch.

I spoked with broker and he promises me to give a contact of a man directly near of the boat. I'd like him to show me real-time video, and then only will decide to send or not to send a surveyor there. On the photos and video she looks like a new, except some moments, but what is in real? Of course I need to watch her by my eyes, but I don't want to buy tickets and book a hotel before video-call.
Guys, who can tell me something about decreasing the price? Is it real to decrease the price on 10%? )))
