T&T: Purchase offer sought

[Bill Allen]

If a broker or an owner has the boat it starts with a phone call, get a feel 
for the people your dealing with talk about the boat and find out everything 
you can about it. After you hang up think about it, decide how much you'll 
offer and then if it's a broker you'll give them a check for 10% held till 
the offer is accepted. If an owner he may or may not take a check it's up to 
him although I would. All offer may have terms (i should say must) first 
being subject to a sea trial, survey, and financing (if required). If the 
sea trial and survey reveal anything you don't like you may offer to take 
the boat at a lower price or walk if you so desire. Your check should be 
returned, although all costs involved with either the survey, pulling the 
boat etc. are on you. Nevr fall in love with the boat until you're finished 
with all the prelimenary stuff. You can't let your heart get in the way of 
your brain. I'm in the middle of buying privately (Krogen Manatee)  and 
selling my 43 hatt  so if you have any question you can email me privately 
if you so desire. Bill
