Greetings,
I plan to buy a used motor boat this winter, somewhere between 22-28' in length.
How does one go about this in a New England winter where all boats are drydocked and winterized. It does not seem reasonable to ask an owner to get out their winter ski parka and launch their boat for me but it also seems nuts to buy a boat without a sea trial.
What's common operating practice with this issue?
Thanks
