I am looking at a 35 year old FRP Chris Craft - cash purchase. This is a private sale referred by word of mouth. It would be a 5-figure deal. A haul-out and survey was done a year ago, and she appears to be in great shape, all records and ownership history. This is far from my 1st boat & have even restored a couple over the last 50 years, so I know what I see.
However, this deal requires travel to inspect, and being a twin diesel with lots of systems I think the deal should include contingencies based on a systems survey by a professional. So that process is a new experience.
Yes I have business contract experience.
Question #1: Am thinking a maritime attorney is needed to produce a contract. Am I on point here?
Question #2: Any referrals to an attorney in the Annapolis area. (Must be a bunch of them there)
