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

This is a buyers market. If you find a boat it is bound to still be available tomorrow and probably next month. Leave the checkbook at home when you go to look. If you find a boat that interests you make an offer in a day or two, and don't be afraid to give an insultingly low ball offer. If they turn it down you can always come back if something else hasn't caught your eye. There's a lot of inventory out there right now. When you do tender a deposit mark it as conditional on a satisfactory survey. And don't even think of making a deal without a survey.
