Absolutely, totally agree.
[quote]If this was posted as a general question: I personally would never buy a boat i didn't take for a test sail - there are 1000's of ways for it to go south and "Caveat emptor" - there are no "take -backsies"[/quote]
Very good advice. And I'd add, that it's often good advice to get a survey done by a qualified surveyor. I've been around boats long enough (and owned or delivered enough boats) that I'm pretty good at spotting potential issues on my own.
One other question, say you find a boat on Craigslist, agree to buy it and have uSHIP deliver it. What do you do about paying the seller (assuming you're not going to be there in person)? Not many people would let you take the boat without having cash in hand first and it's a bit risky to wire someone money without having the boat and title in hand. Thoughts?[/quote]
