I looked at it last week, stayed for about 2 hours. I opened every hatch spent about 30 minutes in the engine compartment and took a lot of notes. From what I saw, a lot of the rot is easy to take care of, it's just digging into it. I'm also going to go back this weekend. He told me to come back as much as I wanted.
I'd love to offer him $8k, but I'm trying to be realistic. I pointed out a number of things that even the broker was like "Oh, I never noticed that."
I like the idea of finding out who the owner has insurance through. As far as "why insure it" you have to be kidding, right? If I wanted to just roll the dice on 25k plus the money I'd put into it, I'd go to Vegas. And I'm going to keep it at a marina so I'll need more than just liability.
As far as a survey goes, the boat has been on the hard and remain on the hard. What will a surveyor look for that I can't see? He's not going to go into the engine, transmission, thruster, fuel system or anything like that and I can look at electronics and the hull just like he can.
