Buying and Selling: Making a Sound Investment in A New or Used Boat
Year: 1995 Language: English Author: Keith Lawrence Genre: Handbook Publisher: Belvoir Books Edition: First ISBN: 978-0961313944 Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages Pages count: 208 Description: It has often been said that the happiest day in the life of a boat owner is the day he buys his boat, and the next happiest day is the day he sells it. Although we would hope that there would be many happy days in between, the fact that there is an element of truth in this statement implies that there is sometimes a bitter sweet aspect to the relationship between a boat and her owner. The purchase of a cruising sailboat is one of the two largest financial commitments that most sailors will make in a lifetime, second only to the purchase of a home. But while the decision to buy a particular home may be reached after weeks or months or even years of careful consideration (and a lifetime of experience with houses), the decision to buy a particular boat is often reached after a few hours or a day at the boat show (usually with somewhat less personal experience). Perhaps it is the impulsiveness with which we tend to buy luxury items (boats, especially) that is responsible for this bittersweet relationship. Volume V, Buying and Selling does not attempt to deter the boat buyer from acting on his impulses. To do so would dampen the excitement of buying a boat and the joy of owning it. Instead, the purpose of this volume is to temper the buyer's impulses with the collective experience of many of boating's most knowl edgeable authors-to help you to choose the right boat, and to help you to buy that boat right. We trust that Buying and Selling will help you to achieve the perfect marriage of boat and boatowner, and that you will enjoy the continuing coverage of these topics in The Practical Sailor, from which most of this material was edited.
