First trip to look at a bigger boat and an offer is made

I knew buying a bigger boat would be a pain, but this was very painful. Hopefully you can learn from my mistakes.

First trip to see the Hunter 28.5

I scheduled time to do an initial check of the 1986 Hunter 28.5 that I saw on Craigslist. It's in my price range, looks like it's in nice shape, and is very close to me. Other boats I've seen have been far away, which will make inspection and delivery tougher. 

I met the owner at the marina and the kids were VERY eager to check out the boat. They had fun running all around and checking out all the storage areas.I'm not a religious person, but I'm not about to anger the ocean gods. There's a whole ritual about renaming a boat that I just don't want to undertake, so I need to find a boat with a name I can live with. This boat's name is O'Sea D, which is fine as I've been told I have a touch of that by several people! Later on I would come to find that she had been named "Naughty Muffin". Wow, what a horrendous name. Sounds like a bad porn name and I would have passed if she still had that name.

The boat looks like it needs a good cleaning. It has been on stands for the past 2 years. The owner had lived in New Hampshire and would spend weekends on board while she visited her daughters, who live locally. Eventually she purchased a house on a river and wanted a powerboat because the river was too shallow for the Hunter (she draws 5'2"). All the electrical work was redone (at the tune of $7,000!), there's a nice chartplotter and the interior looks good. 

I was hoping the owner would have been able to get the sails on already and the cushions out, but no luck. If you're going to sell a boat, I would advise having everything ready before you list it.

That night I decide to make an offer, contingent upon a good survey.

I have lost my mind.
