[QUOTE="richg99, post: 413638, member: 4376"] Well, if you can find a price that you truly believe you could spend on it...you could message him and offer $XXXX.XX..... subject to your seeing the boat (and maybe even running it). All that he can say is "no". If he says "yes", then the control is still in your hands. If you take the drive and don't like what you see, you can tell him it doesn't meet your expectations. When I bought a number of sailboats, they were all "subject to an inspection by a certified marine surveyor" and also, to a "sea trial". Sometimes, I had to leave a substantial deposit, but it was refundable if the boat didn't pass inspection. One boat didn't pass. The next one did. It cost me the price of the Marine Surveyor (something like $200.00 ) but I didn't buy a boat that was possibly subject to underwater damage. Keep us posted. richg99 [/QUOTE]
