Some years ago we had a deposit down on a 85 footer.
Took the boat out with it's captain for a sea trial and haul out .
During the sea trial I ask the captain to put on the trim tabs and a few others things--he told me they don't work
Our surveyor didn't seem to concerned about the small stuff.
Broker on deck; pointing to the birds and seals and how beautiful everything was and how good you look on this boat
At haul out I noticed that the hull on one side in the rear quarter wasn't smooth and had some big wave to it.
Do you think there maybe a problem here
Then it gets worse
I called friend in England that knew the owner of a shipyard in Italy ( I sent pictures to them )
The boat had their yards trademark on it
But it wasn't built by them ----but a yard besides them.
The boat owner could not give the deposit back quick enough after talking to the Italian guys.
So who is wrong the owner or the broker
