hey guys this is my first post out of the whos who and were getting ready to go check out this boat that were trading our camaro for. my question to you guys is after were done lookin this thing over on the trailer, who provides the fuel for the sea trial? is the the buyers or sellers responsibility? i just dont wanna go look at this thing and ask him to put it in the water so we can take it out ASSUMING that hes responsible for the fuel and anything else thats needed to take it out on the water. so if i need to kick in some money so we can take it out on the water let me know if i should or shouldnt offer him anything to take it out.
thanks jason

The seller.

The way that it would normally work is that you would firstly make a written offer accompanied by a refundable deposit to show that you are serious. There may be several conditions, including a surevey, written into the offer and one of them would be a sea trial. The sea trial costs around here are borne by the seller.

Give him a ride in your SS and he'll pay for it. :wow:

Seriously he will not ask for gas money.
