I too would recommend speaking to contractors directly about the work that's needed, what else they might find, etc. Don't rely in the broker. The broker wants to close the deal. After that it's all your problem. Stick to whatever allowance you are comfortable with, not what the broker thinks will close the deal. The one thing you can count of is that actual work will exceed all the estimates. It's just a question of how much more. If the seller doesn't accept your allowance, then why take on the project and risk? Move on to another boat.
