Three documents, one sequence: look at her, run her, price her.
Most buyers do all three and keep the results in three different places — a phone note, a memory of the engine sounding fine, and a number they arrived at on the drive home. The Boat Buying Command Kit is the whole cluster bought at once, so that what you found on the inspection becomes a line in the sea trial and then a figure in the offer.
What is in the kit
- The Ultimate Boat Buyer's Due Diligence Kit — 214 numbered inspection points across 11 systems, in a fixed sequence, 41 pages
- Sailboat Sea Trial Log — the RPM ladder, timed and recorded in figures rather than impressions, 29 pages
- Boat Purchase Budget Worksheet — defect register to costed offer, with a walk-away figure and escrow sizing, 31 pages
Why the three together beat the three apart
The defect matrix in the Budget Worksheet takes its rows straight from the severity you assigned on each due diligence point. The sea trial figures feed the same matrix, so an engine that smoked at half load stops being an impression and becomes a quoted line. By the time you sit down with the broker you are not negotiating on feel — you are reading from a document the seller can see the arithmetic of.

The rule every document in the kit obeys
Not one published tolerance, threshold, rate or acceptable figure anywhere in 101 pages. A moisture percentage or a wear limit belongs to the manufacturer of the component in the revision that matches your serial number, and a figure printed in a general document and applied to a vessel it was never written for is worse than no figure at all. You supply the reference values; the models do the arithmetic.
What it is not
These documents record and organise. They are not a marine survey and not a substitute for one — they are designed to make you a far better-prepared client of a qualified surveyor. Nothing in the kit is a valuation or professional advice.
Bought separately, $291. As a kit, $177 — you keep $114.
