[quote=MN3][quote]I also want this one to be good because we can get there and back in a day. Reno is 1200 miles round trip which means we would have to spend about $200 on boarding our animals plus gas and hotel. It is doable but more work and extra expense. I will keep looking[/quote]
You will have to probably look at lots of boats before you find one in great conditions and under priced - please think about your boarding costs, and fuel costs and add that to your budget. It may get you to a newer/better local boat. -
I would recommend you ask any prospective seller to send you dozens of high res images
and videos
I would ask if there are any known issues, softspots, or problems
I would ask what upgrades have been done and what upgrades would you (The seller) do next and why
I would ask if they are willing to sign a bill of sale (don't buy a boat without one)
I would ask if they are willing to sign an agreement that states the boat is in "good" and working order with no issues -
I would ask if they are willing to put it in a local hobie dealer and get him to review the boat prior to sale
I would require the seller to rig the boat infront of me (you) - to make sure all parts are there, and working
I would suggest you take notes, pics and even video during the rigging ... .you will forget much of it when you are on a beach in a few months and your notes/vids will be very valuable[/quote]
