[quote=MN3]I wouldnt buy a car without a test drive. and you probably wont sink and drown in a car... i wouldnt put my life on the line and purchase a boat i dont know is sound.
i also would NEVER, (ever, ever) purchase a boat offline that i havent at the least spent 3 hours inspecing... pushing on the hulls for soft spots, looking at the sails for tairs or excess wear, looking VERY closely at the beams for cracks... making sure every inch of the boat is in order, or easly repaired.
Where as it may not be practical to go for a test sail, but it may save you $1000's and alow you to sail a boat instead of purchasing a boat that needs alot of work, and money and time and maybe even save you from buying a boat that is unsafe and save your life.[/quote]
