Problems while buying a boat - need advice please
Don''t walk from this boat, run!
Salt water and boat interiors and mechanicals don''t mix well, and anything that got wet is at risk. Certainly, any electrical or mechanical componenent that got wet should be replaced. Discussion of changing the oil is disconcerting - does that mean the engine was largely immersed? Yikes. Who needs the possible future headaches! You can''t just knock off some dough (say $4000) and figure you gotta be covered - not necessarily, that would be only a partial payment on a new engine.
Chock the survey cost up to bad luck, and run.
