Buying and selling guides
Editorial material on preparing a transaction: documents, valuation, inspection and handover of the vessel.
Before you sign the contract
Three guides and two checklists, laid out in the order a deal happens. Start from which side of the table you are on: the buyer reads about inspection and documents, the seller about valuation and preparing the boat. The survey is the third step for both — it settles the argument about the boat's condition before the price does. The checklists condense the same material into something you can print and take to the pontoon.
