I’m in the process of buying a boat. I had know idea that it would be much of a hassle. I first researched on what brand and type I wanted, then started looking. A new one was out of the question, there is a 2 year wait and ballpark prices are $400,000.
So I started looking at used, evidently no one is aware that the economy is looking bad. But I finally find what I want over at West Palm Beach, the other side of the state. I am now waiting for a pre purchase inspection, or survey. The people that do this are evidently swamped, so I’m hoping that they can get to it before my contract expires. Or hopefully the lawyer I’m buying it from will give me a little more time.
i found a interesting tidbit, I called the manufacturer to find out the weight of the boat for transport. They sent me the original work orders, specs, even pictures of this actual boat before shipping. The original owners name was on the work order so I of coarse googled it. Evidently he owned a electric company in Ohio and cooked the books a bit, was fined a few million and also had to pay the irs another few million. Also got close to 3 years jail time.
maybe he shouldn’t have named the boat Renagade.
