Looks like we bought a boat. The papers are signed and we're moving toward closing on an '87 Defever 44. The current owner has taken amazingly good care of her and she did very well in the surveys. It was great to learn that the overall condition matched the bling. We'll be moving her to the Chesapeake sometime this summer. So many on this forum have been extremely helpful, but I owe special thanks to Moonstruck, Sailor of Fortune, Boatpoker and Yachtbrokerguy. Don, Jack, Wallace and Tucker: when we meet, the beer's on me.
Also, a major endorsement for Bill Gladding. If you need a surveyor anywhere near Jacksonville, Bill is extremely thorough, honest, highly competent and a genuinely nice guy.
Finally, brokers sometimes take some hard knocks on this site. It was a relief and a great pleasure to work with Curtis Stokes, who handled this with integrity and professionalism.
