So we're looking for a boat and have found one that checks off most of the boxes, but it's almost 500 miles away. We have seen many pictures and a video that seem to capture the essence of the vessel. It is a one owner and appears to be in pristine condition with low hours on the engines. It is currently shrink wrapped and on the hard. Here's the dilemma: Since it's wrapped, I can actually see more of the boat in the video from last September than I could see if I were to inspect it in person. Is it crazy to have our broker make an offer without visiting in-person? My thinking is that the survey will uncover any issues prior to sale and the cost of the survey is roughly the same as a flight and hotel.
