The 47-Point Pre-Purchase Yacht Inspection Checklist

Description

What a captain looks at before you write the check.

Forty-seven inspection points, in the order a working captain walks a boat — from the paperwork you check before you drive, through the engine room where the money hides, to the records that tell you who really owned her.

This is the walk-through that happens before the surveyor: the one that tells you whether a boat deserves your $1,500 survey, your Saturday, and your deposit.

• PASS / FLAG / STOP scoring on all 47 points
• The six deal-killers most buyers never check
• Real repair costs so every flag becomes negotiating leverage
• Ninety minutes, a flashlight, and paper towels
