February 17, 2006, Newsletter Issue #25: Considerations When Bidding On A Boat
Tip of the Week
When choosing a boat to bid on at a boat auction, you should make pains to take a few precautions. Before you even begin looking at boats, determine what kind of watercraft you are looking for and the features that you will need. Then set an upper price limit for yourself to guard against overbidding. Once you find a boat that you like, it pays to have it looked at by a professional marine surveyor -- the service can cost as much as $1000, but it is well worth it if it prevents you from making a costly mistake. Be sure to question the seller on the boat's origins and the reasons for selling the boat. Make sure that you take the boat for a test drive; see how it handles and, if possible, bring along the surveyor.
