Yes, and make sure you utilize a good surveyor to make sure your emotions do not get the best of you.(lipstick on a pig syndrome!) Look for one who has previously surveyed several of the same type of boat.


That's why purchasing a charter boat after it's 4 year contract gives you a chance to pick out the best one.
If you owned one in charter that ran into a reef and tore the keel out your stuck with it even though it's repaired.
In the VI's most of the sailboats surveyed are charter boats so the surveyors know the boats pretty well.
