We made another 600+ miles today, so are spending the night in Palm Springs, CA, but unfortunately are mildly grouchy after two long days cooped up in the car with no breaks except gas stops, so we aren’t painting the town red tonight. Yawn!
But on the good side, we achieved Final Acceptance today on the boat purchase – sort of like striking the final deal after all contingencies are removed when you buy a house. We had some issues to resolve from the Survey: for example the auto-pilot and radar that were advertised to be part of the boat sale were actually broken and had been taken off the boat? We got an email today from our boat broker, Curtis Stokes, with the final sign-off from the Seller making the several adjustments we’d requested. So we’re celebrating! Now we just need to complete the Closing – just like buying a house except that Coast Guard documentation is included in the process. For this, like escrow when you buy a house, we get to pay a very nice, competent, cheerful person/agency $699 to take care of all of it for us. Ka-ching, ka-ching every time we turn around! So far we remain thrilled.
Anybody want to offer advice on how to go about selecting a cost effective, used, radar for the boat?!
