I'm a Canadian interested in buying a U.S. boat, I'm familiar with what I have to do to get it over the border, however...what do I need from the broker telling me the boat is free and clear? The boat is a repossession, (I believe it is) so it's maintenance is questionable. Normally I would make an offer subject to survey and sea trial, but the vessel needs a ton of work of a cosmetic nature, interior and tops. The asking price already reflects this. I just want to cover myself on the mechanicals...It's in the water, and from what I'm told "everything works"...
I take it all would recommend i still make the offer subject to survey and sea trial, and give up the bargaining position of a quick sale vs peace of mind knowing it's ok? Can anyone clarify who's responsibilty it is to ensure the boat is free and clear?
