Quote from: somegirl on August 27, 2009, 04:45:26 AM- Recent survey-has it had one? You *need* one. Expect about $20 a foot in terms of cost to have one done. I would not trust one more than 6 months old-it may have developed new issues which are not in the survey.

Did you not bother to read all the helpful advice that you specially requested from Kazakhstan? [roll]

I read it, but it didn't actually say what one was.

I understand it to mean like a home appraisal when you are buying a new house.

It just sucks that I'd be paying ~$400 for something I may end up not buying, you know?

Think of it more like the termite inspection - the seller should pay for it and it should really be done before they list it for sale.

So far no one I have talked to has done one. One guy told me if I wanted one it would run me about $500...

If someone advanced you the 500k, one trip down to south america and bring a sub full of blow back into the US will take care any issues with money the rest of your life..........

there are two happy days for a boat owner.
the day you buy....
and the day you sell.
If you drive the nicest car in the neighborhood, work in a cash business, and don't pay taxes, you're either a preacher or a drug dealer...

The second boat looks to be the better of the two, but IMO it looks like a pretty cramped cockpit. The sun lounge/engine hatch takes up a lot of space aft, and will inhibit fishing and tying up at the dock, and the cabin takes up space forward, leaving you with room to seat four, but not move around much.. It's nice that the engine/outdrive have been rebuilt, IF the seller has paperwork to prove it.
You probably won't find a boat with a recent survey, but it's not hard to find a surveyor. Most people don't have boats that small surveyed anyway, again IMO.
A quick search on boattrader.com found 6 in your area under $4500.

I am not sure a survey applies to a $4000 boat.  Why spend 10% of the price to survey it?  I have never heard of it myself.
