RE: Survey failed in under 15 minutes.

Tony,
Sorry to hear this. I would recommend before you even write a contract to walk all the decks to check for soft spots, crawl around the engine room and check the fuel tanks for visible rust/problems. If the seller will let you, I'd also crank up both motors and generator and let them get up to operating temp in the slip, and basically do a good walk through so as to not waste your time and money on the many older/beat up boats out there that are victims of multiple years of neglect.
