GL: 49' for Loop

[Rich Gano]

"When you do a test
ride and are serious explain the concern to the owner and ask to take it in
and out of a few slips of various sizes and types with only two persons
doing
everything and no dock hands ashore (maybe have extras ready just in case)."

I don't recall sea trials being a time to let a neophyte to your boat
(possibly a neophyte to boating in general) handle the boat in complex
mooring operations.  You are hoping for a sale, not possible damage and
other negative experiences.

I hate it, but this is a time freighted with heavy legal implications and no
time for fiddling around.
