So I'm "negotiating" with the broker of the C&C 30 I've been looking at. (He was away on vacation).
I brought up a few issues with the boat and his response was "older boats have these issues, maybe you should look for a newer boat" -- Rather friendly chap it seems!
I'm still looking at how to proceed. Overall the price of the boat is quite good, with a few issues. Most issues cosmetic - but a couple potentially significant problems --- 1 chain plate looks a little corroded, and one section of deck that looks rough in the pictures (my contact who looked at the boat said it didn't feel soft, but he didn't try to tap it - starboard deck, right next to companionway)
Having talked with my insurance agent I was advised that I would need to have the boat professional surveyed and all significant issues dealt with before it leaves the dock to head to Nova Scotia.
So - I've never done this part before. If I make an offer contingent on a survey, is there specific wording. Does anyone have a "contract" in hand? Any advice? I figure I'll make an offer of $14000, contingent on survey, but what should I say about repairs?
