Buying Boat in Winter

I''m sort of going through the same thing. I had an offer on a boat that had just been winterized (sort of), but it was still in the water. I was going to have to commission everything, etc., do the sea trial, haul, winterize everything as it was going to sit on the hard for a couple of days to dry out, then drop it back in the water, take it back to the marina and rewinterize the engine. The survey wasn''t going to well as we found a major problem, so I didn''t have to do all of that, but we''re still talking, so it might yet happen.

I don''t know what the best way to handle all of this is short of looking for a boat down south!
