Buying a Boat – What You Need To Consider
Buying a boat is less complicated than buying a house, but you still need to take sensible precautions to avoid buying a second hand boat, that is unsuitable for what you want to do with it. You need to ensure that:
1 The boat is worth the asking price
2 The hull is in good condition
3 The electrics are safe and function correctly
4 It is mechanically sound
5 That the seller actually owns the boat and has no finance outstanding.
