My wife went with me to see the boat today.  It was very windy and cold (high 30s f) and felt like below freezing.  But inspite of her bad kneee, she braved the weather and jumped on the boat and took a full look around.  She asked many questions and we talked.  I think, assuming all is well with the final inspection, the boat is ours!

Next step is meeting with the owner and inspecting the boat and engine and lastly, having the boat pulled and the bottom inspected for problems.
