Buyers Best 1st Group of Questions over the Phone!
1. What year is the boat?
2. How long you owned it?
3. Why are you selling?
4. Has it ever been sunk or badly damaged in any way?
5. How many hours on the engine and do it/they as well as transmission run well?
6. Does it have gen set - what brand / how many hours / currently run well?
7. Are there any glaring defects or repair, restoration, maintenance needs?
8. Does your wife/girl-friend like your boat?
Those eight questions and their answers should get you to the point of further discussion if the answers please you. Some times I end the conversation within the first few questions/answers because either things are not as I like for a boat - or - I quickly get the feeling the seller is not who I want to deal with Upon further discussion you may decide to go visit to see if that boat really may be correct for you. From that point there are many, many questions and reviews/surveys needed to make sure it's the correct boat.
