Hi... I’m buying a brand new trawler from a broker on the east coast. The boat is being built in Seattle.
The Seattle manufacturer wants the final 10% payment once the boat finishes its sea trial out west. The contract between the broker and I reads that the boat will be delivered to me in Annapolis.
I’m in a “discussion” with the east coast broker because I contend that if I’m taking delivery of the boat in Annapolis I should have some kind of “hold back” until the boat is delivered to me and I’m assured everything is in good order.
What is the “standard” of the industry? I’m sure many readers have bought boats on one coast or another that were being constructed on the other side of the the country or even the world.
Thanks in advance for any feedback.
