Sharing Survey?

[MaasGuy]

Hello Group....Just had an out of the water survey done and they came up with a few issues....one of which, if not handled by the seller, would most likely preclude us from buying the boat. I've sent the seller (broker) a couple of pictures of the issue and have told him that this would be the only thing they need to address to continue with the process. The broker asked if I would be willing to share the entire survey. I replied back that I would send him a few pictures of some minor issues but would hold off sharing the entire thing for now. I do have a mechanical survey and sea trial scheduled for next week. Would folks with more experience than myself have any opinions on sharing survey info? Thanks!

I see no problem sharing the survey with the broker and the seller.
If you don't buy the boat, sell the survey to the next buyer for 1/2 price.
I did just that when I looked at my first Albin 28TE in 2015.

Personally, I would only share the issue being negotiated with the possibility of sharing an item or two of things that I would be willing to let go if the Seller were willing to address the major concern.

Typically the buyer will only share the full survey with the seller if the seller splits the cost of the survey. Only show him the issues that you are trying to negotiate.
