Default Re: Noob questions

Plan on doing whatever needs re-doing. Cosmetics can and will rip you and your friend a "new one" if chased to the Nth degree! If you don't know enough about boats to look at one like someone else is buying it and pointing out what kind of condition all its components are in; hull, deck, transom, motor, electronics, etc, etc., get someone who is and then add up what must be done and what would be nice to do eventually.

Now you're ready to make a decision to buy or not to buy or use the information to negotiate a lower price of sale. When you find a situation that is manageable within you budget- pull the trigger and proclaim yourself terminally ill with SeaCraft-itis!!!

Remember, Strictly from a dollars and cents perspective, "If it flies, FLOATS - RENT IT! Good luck.
