I have not seen this boat, but it's in Annapolis, so if you want me to take a quick look, I can do so. PM me off line.

OK, thanks. I called and no one knew the boat, so I got passed from person to person (in Annapolis office) and finally left voice mail about it with the final link in their chain, waiting to hear back.
Aren't reposessions sometimes problematic in that the "owner" tends to strip off expensive electronics and such ?

The LOOK of the engines? What looks bad? Anyone can put a coat of paint and new hoses on a tired, worn out smoker. You really can't tell anything until you start them and run some diagnostics.
I probably shouldn't say this since it should be obvious, but without actually getting aboard you can't tell too much from photos or even from talking to a broker. When I bought my 53 in 2004, I traveled all over and looked at some dogs that were supposed to be outstanding from what the brokers had told me.Last edited by SKYCHENEY; 04-13-2015 at 09:50 PM.

You also need to tread very carefully when dealing with National liquidators. They're notorious for unethical practices.

Seeing as I didn't anticipate being interrogated about the comment, I don't remember exact details but the engine rooms were pretty dirty in general with some areas around the pipes indicating salt water leakage (green scum) and oil leakage.
But true, they might be absolutely fine regardless...it was just that combined with other hints here and there that the boat leaned toward the "not well cared for category". But also true one really needs to see a boat in real life.
In fact in my experience the brokers often take terrible photos and the boat is often considerably nicer in real life than in the photos. But sometimes just the opposite, like the Viking 55 MY, Lady Mira in Texas that has a 5 year old photo of the exterior on Yachtworld and the vessel looks much worse than that today.
