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. It can be tough to get a boat loan if you can’t prove income and don’t have a strong FICO score. And it’s tough to get a loan on a boat that’s over 15 years old.

So when a boat does get an offer, why don’t more boats actually pass sea trials, mechanical inspections and marine surveys?

It mostly depends on whether you as a buyer can establish that the seller took substantial steps to conceal the problem for the sole purpose of selling the item to an unsuspecting customer, and whether the broker (if there was any involved) knew of the concealment.
Laws are also different depending on the state in which the transaction has taken place. 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…
