we are looking into insurance and financing issues on prospective boats (the one in the avatar pic is for sale, hope it sells soon!). So as I was investigating various possibilities, and this question came up in my mind: If I finance a portion of the boat as part of my offer (thinking a 50% of price), and the survey shows some items that need to be fixed as a condition of financing or condition for insurance, how does that "chicken and the egg" issue get solved? I can't close on a boat I cannot get financing for, and even if I can close, I wouldn't want to take title or ownership to a boat that I cannot insure? Maybe I am thinking about this all wrong, so advice would be appreciated here. Thanks
