LOL...yep, here I am. The bank wont finance it without the inspection, just like a house. That pricetag is way too low for what you described. He just MUST get the inspection and figure out what is wrong with it. It may be defects that can be remedied, but I have learned from experience that doing ANYTHING to a boat is expensive and an enormous pain in the ass -- more than one would think! Some defects cannot be remedied. My bet is that the boat has run aground or flooded and caused some serious defects to the hull, but who knows really. I'm no expert.

Your friend should learn to scuba. =-) It's the best way to check the bottom for debris and barnacles and such, if he does get a big boat.

The Dorf -- That boat is absolutely a masterpiece.

Well my partner sort of, doesn't finance things. He just buys them.

The guy told my partner that "it is at my house in Freeport Bahamas, haven't used it in a while though" Which basically translates into "It has barnacles on the bottom the size of dinner plates."

for that kind of price it should be tip top thats a pretty heafty price...but its a monster boat

Bro.... Let's put it like this. The current one my partner has is 75 ft. And it would sell for around 6 million should he part with it.

This one is bigger.... and cheaper..... got to be in horrendous shape.

Barnacles dont matter. They scrape right off. You may need to do a bottom paint job, but no big deal, unless you have blisters so big that the padding in the fiberglass of the hull has been compromised. Then you have big worries.

Whether he is financing or not, there is no way to know the value unless he gets that inspection.

Damn, sounds like a fine yacht. Invite me to a party if you buy it. =-)

As an aside, once the kids are out of the house, we plan to spend the better part of our time on the boat in Freeport. He will at least love the trip down there.

75 foot is a major yacht. 122 is getting into mega-yacht territory. Let me ask you, does he hire a crew to take it out? When you get up over 55-60 feet, you can't just take it into any port/marina you choose, and getting fuel will not be as easy either. At 122 ft., I would assume he is going to have to take a crew. Do you two like that?
