I've bought a lot of cars and a few boats over the years. I would not buy anything unless I visually inspected it or had someone I trusted inspect it. You can get all the pictures you want but when you go to look at it in person and talk to the owner face to face it's not always the same. I just bought a PWC locally but I looked at more than 6 over the past few months traveling mostly in New England. You can tell how someone takes care of something when you meet them. I looked at one, when I pulled in his driveway he was cleaning out empty beer cans as I got there. The machine looked like he had been drunk every time he rode it. The point is, you can't always tell what someone is like just by talking to them on the phone.
