The boat is worth what you are willing to pay for it...if you get it at your
offer price great, if not look for something else

In the states, everybody uses the YBAA form for offers. The selling
broker can provide the form.
Putting a survey as a condition is bog standard. I've had it included
on boats where I didn't even end up doing a survey.
I wouldn't expect a ton of movement on price as a result of a survey.
With a boat of that age and price point, if the survey turns up
something minor you might get some movement, but you might also get
"it's an old boat. deal with it". If a major item turns up (say a
wet deck) it probably just means that you walk away.
Good luck with it.
Cheers!

Typically you make your offer contingent on survey. That can be as
detailed
as you like; hull survey, engine survey, and you can add sea trials to
test
systems. You are making the offer. If the owner accepts your offer, the
full
price would be expected unless the survey finds things wrong. Once
problems
are discovered, the owner can opt to fix them which is rare, or you can
lower your offer to offset the cost of repairs. Your survey should help
lower the offer to a "where-is, as-is" value cause the owner doesn't want
to
fix anything and wants out.
Be prepared for rejection. Make your offer low. If the owner accepts the
first offer, you came in high. Research other vessels w similar equipment
first. There are many 30's for sale on Yachtworld.com and there are other
sites.

Just make your offer, get the survey done and negotiate the repairs after.
If you want to sit down over a coffee to discuss it, we can do that too.
Sender a phone number off list if you like. It's Sunday and I have some

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?
Thanks,
Mark
