I am hoping to get some general advice on the order of the process that should be taken if buying a late model (2013-2015) used 19-20' deck boat, outboard power.
So my general understanding would be that one would go see the boat, do a general visual inspection to see if there is interest. Would it be typical to make an offer next, contingent on a sea trial and mechanic inspection? Or would it be more typical to sea trial first or even do the mechanic inspection prior to an offer? It seems like it would be important to determine if you are both in the same ballpark regarding price prior to spending time putting the boat in the water. This would likely be purchased from a private party.
Thanks in advance for the advice.
