Both type of vessels offer distinct experiences on the water, each with their unique set of advantages and disadvantages. This article will delve into the intricacies of owning and maintaining each type, helping prospective buyers make an informed decision tailored to their maritime aspirations.

Survey Boats before they sell
Survey Boats before they sell
We all know that it’s getting harder and harder for people to buy boats because of the ‘economy’. Everyday we hear about consumer confidence slipping, eroding, you name it. To believe ‘them’ we’re all going to the really hot place, really fast, in a hand basket. And true to form, there is some truth in what ‘they’ are saying.

For example, although California requires various disclosures to be made in real estate transactions, that requirement does not extend to boat-related sales. As such, it will be extremely difficult to hold a seller liable if he or she remains silent regarding any known faults with the items being sold.
A broker may be held u…
