    Re: Boy would I be careful..

    This is just what I'm trying to be,careful There is a lot more going on here than what meets the eye.I have looked at the boat many times .My main thoughts are on the engines.I don't really want a sea trial.I want to buy as-is so I can get the boat cheaper.I don't work and have lots of time to repair providing there are no major repairs.So I'm trying to figure all the odds.Good or bad.I don't want to spend my money to get someone else's boat running so they can raise the price.If they want a higher price I think it should be running at there expense.

    Then do this....

    .. get a GOOD hull survey.

    Start at $50k. Subtract anything found on the hull survey. That's your final "settlement" price.

    You are assuming the engines and genset are shot. That's fair, if the seller will not demonstrate otherwise.

    You can crank a 6-71N with a cheap Group 31 battery if the weather is warm. Not for long, but if the engines are in good shape it shouldn't take long.

    This BS about not being able to get it running is a huge red flag - no matter what you think you know about the boat.

    Offer $50k contingent on a satisfactory survey. If that deal goes you'll be ok. Above that price I would run, not walk away.

    43DC In Detroit Area

    Bill....contact me at DLCameron2@comcast.net. I sold my 1977 43DC last year, I owned it for 7 years and I probably "know" the boat you are talking about. Happy to speak with you on the phone, just send me an e-mail. I also have in mind a surveyor that will give you a no nonsense survey, expensive but worth it.

    Hatteras

    Hello,

    Did you ever buy this? How did it turn out?

    I am looking at a 1974 '31 Hatteras. It is in rough shape and I am wondering what I may be getting in to.

    Thanks,

    Ken
