Thank you for that.
That could be, absolutely, one way of understanding the condition of the boats. One thing I should have mentioned earlier is that this isn't going to capture all boats. It's going to capture the boats as defined under the WAHVA, which has de minimis and maximum sizes of boats. Obviously, bigger boats are captured by different processes in the shipping act, for instance. However, one way would be just that: having a proper, in-depth assessment of the status of the boat.
For the person who is buying the boat, I think you could get financial records, but getting that and verifying all of that information is not within the boat seller's control. What is going to be required here is that they submit, in writing, that they can take care of it.
