W
hen buying a used boat, it is a
good idea to have her surveyed
before completing the purcha-
se, and the surveyors might find
some damage. In this article we
will find out which sort of damage should lead us
to abandoning the purchase, and which can be
negotiated.
When buying a second-hand boat, no matter if
she is almost new or several dozens years old, we
are always worried about possible hidden dama-
ge, and the most frequent question is "What has
been done with this boat? What has occurred to
her?"The safest, even if not guaranteed, solution
to get rid of doubts is to have the boat inspected
by a surveyor. In addition to dissolving the buyer's
doubts, the survey is also aimed at safeguarding
the seller's interests.
