teh bigger the boat, the easier it is... twin diesel are 10 times more maneuvrable than single stern drive... you shouldn't have any problem there.
yes, many "yacht" brokers are no better than used car salesman and will do anything to get you to come look at a boat, even if it barely floats. using a buyer's broker may help although dont' assume the seller's broker will be more forthcoming to another broker... But having a broker on your side, holding the deposit in escrow and crossing the Ts and dotting the Is is a good idea and doens't cost you anything...
The suggestion to use the services of a captain durign the process is a good one as long as it's someone you can really trust... for instance a captain may be able to pick things during inspection and survey which woudl save you from spending money on surveying a floating POS...
The one thing i'd look at when it comes to these vintage/type of boat are the fuel tanks. if Alum., they are now nearing the end of their life and in some case that can be very costly.
from your posts it seems you were expecting this to be quick process, expecting to close a deal on a boat you had not seen... it doens' work that way. and make sure you get a full survey as others have mentioend.
