David, Best of luck! One negotiates a price subject to survey and then re-negotiates based on those results. The broker can look up prior sales on soldboats.com and provide a printout. I would factor the cost of electronics in to the price, but they my be able to get you a better labor rate.

I have a 1990 34+ in my sights that I will soon have surveyed etc. Does one negotiate the price and then survey or the other way around? I am relatively inexperienced with the buying process, so looking for tips/suggestions on how to proceed. Does one negotiate the price and then survey or the other way around? Can one find out what similar boats have sold for over the past few years? The boat is owned by the brokerage as it was taken in trade on a new boat and I have the impression I can negotiate hard on the price as they want to move it. Are there any specific issues to look out for with the 34+? Are there things I can ask them to do as part of the purchase? For instance, the boat has GPS, but lacks wind/speed instruments. Can installing that be part of the negotiation or does one just figure that kind of thing into the ownership cost? They are not a boat yard, but are associated with one nearby. Also, whose responsibility should it be to get the bottom ready for the new season? Any suggestions welcome. Thanks- Dave David Knecht 50 Farmstead Rd.
