Make sure you get your own survey, with your own surveyor (not one recommended by the broker) and talk to the surveyor face to face. Ask directly who owns the boat (is it really on brokerage or is it owned by the company selling it to you). This particular boat must be owned by the broker as we sold it to them a month ago, and we wonder whether the same was the case when we bought her (from the same broker), even though they told it it was a brokerage boat (no way of proving it but the broker's name was on the survey and the sales documentation did not name a private vendor. Remember that brokers are salesmen, not your friend. I would personally not buy from this company again, but I guess it is wise not to name names. The above advice is probably sensible for any purchase...
