Boat Info
2007 290 Sundancer 4.3's
Engines
4.3 Mercruiser Bravo
Want to execute my buying process without waste of time and or money. Most the boats I have been considering are 1500 plus miles away. Need help figuring the out the typical process.

1. I.D. boat, call seller, request additional pics ask the pertinent questions, want to pursue and purchase. FaceTime video ?
2. Question. Nail down price before getting on airplane to see boat ?
3. Everything subject too, subject too. ?
4. Have someone compression test engines. I can eval the boat. Sea trial
This is a 290, trailer, brokerage boat.
Appreciate the help
 
Try to find an internet friend close by who can take a look and see if it's worth your time. Also get a survey. If you're confident that the layout is right for you, then it comes down to condition. You might get the survey done first to save a wasted plane trip.

You may even find a CSR member nearby who can go take a look at it and give you a boaters opinion of it before doing anything that costs money.
