anxiety in buying a boat
Yesterday I had a deal on a Cal 2-27 fall through. I had put a deposit on it 11 days earlier. I liked the boat but a day after making the purchase agreement I felt uneasy. I started a list of things that needed repair or upgrade. I got pretty anxious about it. Even with my list of repairs though, it seemed like a fair purchase & a good boat for my needs. The boat was hauled & surveyed Monday. In addition to my own list, the surveyor said it needed a new prop shaft & prop due to damage from electrolysis. My revised purchase price was rejected. I was disappointed but the big surprise to me was how relieved I felt. Guess this worked out for the best. Go with your gut feelings.
