Choosing a Boat
What mistakes should you avoid when buying a boat?
The most expensive is deciding on appearance. The second is leaving the survey until after the deposit, by which point the negotiating position is gone. The third is focusing on the asking price and ignoring first-year costs.
Why it works this way
A survey is the antidote to all three: it replaces appearance with measurement, arrives before the money moves and itemises what the first year will actually cost.
