I would also like to see the current owner kick in on sail repairs, some of the engine maintenance issues and fixing the issues with the hull blisters, but I\/we have not yet determined\/decided whether we\/I would kill the sale over these smaller items.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-173\" src=\"http:\/\/neverforever.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/P1110018-450x338.jpg\" alt=\"P1110018\" width=\"450\" height=\"338\" \/><\/p>\n<p>What we (by which I mostly mean the broker) are trying to do now is get final estimates from all the various trades and technicians and work out a plan. If we are pulling the boat to fix the hull and prop, then I might as well get her bottom painted at the same time and fixing the other smaller issues now will save having to do another haulout. But now is the busiest season as everyone is prepping their boats for summer. So maybe we take the cash and stash it away until fall and do the work then, but that comes at an additional cost that has to come out of someone&#8217;s pocket. Once the estimate numbers\u00a0are in (which could\/should be in an hour or two), the current owner will commit to his\u00a0number and then. if Leslie and I like that number, we&#8217;ll agree and\u00a0he will magically be transformed into the previous owner and we will own a boat.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s all an intricate\u00a0dance of order and precedence\u00a0and yet another reason that I am glad, in the end, to have been able to work with the broker throughout this process. Call me na\u00efve if you want to (even though you shouldn&#8217;t) but I truly believe he doing the best deal he can for both parties. And I like that.<\/p>\n<p>So there you have it.
