All very good tips.
I would add to look thoroughly for a good surveyor. I bet that this list can
help. Another source is the Society of Accredited Marine Surveyors
(www.marinesurvey.org). I would pick at least a couple and talk to them
(interview them). You want to make sure that they are working
Agreed Joel,
Over all I was disappointed with what a standard survey included. I had
two in less than a month on two different boats with different surveyors.
If not for needing it for the financing I would opt next time for an engine
and rigging survey alone. I can swing a moisture meter, and v
You might also want to consider a rigging survey. My surveyor could not
see a broken tang. Luckily I had a furler installed, so my rigger saw it
before I lost the rig. It was an expensive, unwelcome surprise.

The haul and launch are sold as a pair so the previous haul covers the
launch. But if you don't buy then you are responsible for putting it back
on the hard. Other than that all costs are yours. That's kinda why you

If you want to avoid that cost, delay your closing until after spring.

You guys are fabulous and one of the reasons I am excited that the boat we are
likely to end up with turns out to be another C&C. I really appreciate all the
advice. One question from the responses- the sea trial. The boat is on the

David,
Do your research. Do your own, thorough, preliminary survey. Look at
recent market prices. Look at comparable boats and ask yourself why not
this one instead. Look at sail inventory, engine, and drive train. The
surveyor will probably not perform a detailed engine/drive train survey.

Re the instruments: from a buying perspective, any instruments older than a
year should play a very minor part to none in the negotiations and new gear to
come should not figure in the price at all. Keep it focused on the boat.

I would start out by offering the broker 40% of the current asking price,
subject to your surveyor's survey & sea trail. Watch the broker's reaction
and you should be able to clearly see just how far they are willing to go
to sell you the boat without wasting a of of your time.. Also, ask fo
David, pretty much everything's negotiable. But the order to do is:
negotiate before the survey, then make an offer "subject to survey." Don't
use the broker's surveyor. Ask here for a recommendation.
A broker should have a list of what other boats like yours have sold for,
but I doubt the selling
David,
Best of luck!
One negotiates a price subject to survey and then re-negotiates based on
those results. The broker can look up prior sales on soldboats.com and
provide a printout. I would factor the cost of electronics in to the
price, but they my be able to get you a better labor rate.

David,
Welcome to the list. I would suggest you negotiate a price, then do the
survey. If things come up in the survey, you can negotiate down further.
As for installation of instruments, I doubt you'll get anywhere with
that as the dealer would most likely have to subcontract
I am hoping to return to the C&C family this season. I have a 1990 34+ in my

then survey or the other way around? I am relatively inexperienced with the
buying process, so looking for tips/suggestions on how to procee
