The logistics of a sea trial? Is it on a trailer near water? In the
water?

It's on a trailer, but the marina doesn't have any lift facilities, so
the boat would have to be towed to the nearest ramp, which is at a
park a few miles away. I guess they figured that based on the price
they agreed upon, they didn't want the hassle of dealing with it.


In that case, I'd make damned sure you can get every penny of your
investment back if you find anything major wrong after taking the boat for a
spin. If the dealer can't afford the time to launch the boat for a test
drive, he's sure as hell not going to have enough money in the deal to fix
problems for you.
