Cheap Boats / buying notes

Cheap Boats: before you order

Add the costs around the asking price: inspection, transport, preparation, storage and the work already known to be needed.

Use actual quotes where you have them and mark estimates clearly. Keep unknown costs visible instead of entering zero just to make the budget balance.

Allow a contingency for the purchase you are considering. A listing does not confirm condition, title or availability; an appropriate independent inspection is part of the investigation.

Keep these details together

• Asking price
• Preparation budget
• Annual commitments
