Boat purchase

[Boaterdan278michigan]

We are visiting a boat we'd like to purchase. We've been searching for this particular boat all fall, winter and spring. We are going to inspect the boat and sea trial this weekend. My question for the group is, the boat is in the water now. Who pays to lift the boat out for the hull inspection and structural survey. I understand that I pay for the mechanical and structural survey. Also, all of the members of this group have been great, wish me luck.

If it was my boat for sale and it's in the water , you're paying for everything. I've bought a few boats and that's the standard .

That sucks , I would think the seller should make the boat available for inspection ....like not in the water , everything else would be on the buyer ....otherwise I would keep looking

Who pays for it is whatever you negotiate
