NEED SOME ADVICE REGARDING MY NEXT PURCHASE OF MY 27 FT SEA RAY SUNDANCER
Purchased a number of boats over the years.
All older fishing boats. .
As long as sellers had titles I figured everything was fine, and never had a problem .
In todays crazy world I have become un trusting which is not my nature
Boat I am purchasing is costing a lot more then my past boat purchases .
Purchase is from a used boat dealer/ wholesaler in Fl. .
I want too do a complete back ground check making sure it's not a Hurricane Sandy or Salvage boat with any liens or small unsecured notes .
I have vessels vin #
BOAT BACK GROUND SERVICES ARE THEY WORTH IT ?
I was always under the impression if seller has title, there are no liens ?
Last month deal did not go thru but was purchasing a cruiser.
Before cash changed hands I wanted too make sure no issues on boat
Had seller's vin #, name, address, ,.
Calling motor vehicle I gave MV employee info and they said no liens or any issues with title
Was going too go too motor vehicle and do the same on the Sea Ray
Any other checks or services I should consider too avoid any pit falls
Any horror stories that I am not considering that can happen down the road .
thanks
