Robin,
Sorry that your purchase resulted in a contentious relationship with your
broker. First off, was this a buyer or sellers agent? If you secured them to
find you a boat and post survey discovered something as serious as a bent prop
shaft, I would put several issues up for question:
1. Was
Another question:
At what point was the boat owned by you?
If I sold you my boat here and then the shipping firm bent the prop on the way
to there, I would feel bad about it but suggest the shipping firm be the ones
to fix it. After all, the boat was fine when it left my slip.
If the shaft was pr
Hi Hank,
Good to hear from you. Yes. you are correct. The Mega was the sole
exception to C&C not working with a designated sailmaker. As you remember,
Peter Barrett of North Sails was one of the driving forces behind the Mega,
so it was always envisioned to be a collaborative effort. I had somehow
Have been looking for a boat for just over a year now. Have traveled far and
wide and dealt with numerous brokers.
I've learned the following during my journey;
- if the broker is represents both seller and buyer, either get another broker
to represent you or establish in writing that the broke
If you want to know how many times I have run aground, you would be in for a
long conversation LOL. I think I am at 2 or so in the last week – marina needs
to dredge again.
Seriously though, VERY good advice. I have had brokers email me a survey that
was pretty harsh. That was putting honesty ov
By the way... I dealt with bridge yachts in the last few weeks on my last
search.
Survey Failed (according to what I'm looking for), but I had a decent
experience. There's always the feeling of "did they know more"... some
experienced buyers see a problem (especially if structural), as a big

A lot of my experience has been similar to what John described above
In my case, I spoke with the surveyor yesterday and he plans to try to get to
the boat this Sunday before the temps begin to freeze consistently. Initially,
I told him I would not be able to be there (although would prefe
Buying a boat from a broker without a buyer’s agent is the same as buying a
house with no realtor representing you. And doing so from long distance,
stacks the deck even further against you. The seller’s agent is looking out
for the seller and themselves. Period. Since that agent gets commi
I bought and sold boats on the hard last year. I wouldn't accept a condition
that didn't expire until spring and I didn't ask the seller to. I protected
myself as buyer with a hold back as did the purchaser of my old boat. If your
seller agrees to the condition then great, however you may want t
Actually, I didn't ask the seller to accept a condition that would not expire
until the Spring. The brokerage indicated that the engine could be inspected
on the hard and re-winterized. The surveyor sees it differently. So, a hold
back is most likely what we will do.

Violeta,
Your mileage would vary, but many people had pretty good results with that
tape. He also did some interesting testing of a few different products. I am
not trying to say that Maine Sail’s butyl tape is the best in the world, but it
is pretty good, for sure. The differences are in holdi
