Finally threw in the towel today on my month long pending Hatteras purchase. After multiple delays trying to get the survey done due to a series of issues - weather, mechanical, and more - the seller announced they would not extend the contract at the same price. As I understand it, they want me to agree that if I close, I will pay for the investigation and likely repair of the latest mysterious leak causing the delays. While I would not rule out paying for certain repairs, and I know well the cost of getting into a new boat, I won't just flip the switch for repairs on a boat that I do not own, by a yard that I do not know, where I cannot monitor and control the work being done. Am I wrong?
The owner does not seem to care that I am walking, which tells me they prob have a better offer on the backside. It's an interesting situation from a legal/contracts perspective speaking as a lawyer, but I'm not going there. Prob best to just walk away because this isn't fun anymore. But something in my gut tells me that someone's brother-in-law is now going to get my boat at my price.
