Ep.13 Is this a Scam?
INSANE Saga of a Hurricane Damaged Sailboat Pt.3/4
In this Episode: After weeks of games and some really sketchy business going on in the boatyard, I finally get a look at the inspection video to try and assess if there’s any major damage. I also look at all of the opinions of my subscribers to see if my uneducated eyes have missed anything and seek your advice.
I run the risk of missing the deadline and have to decide whether to make my offer.
But is Bennie the Beneteau hiding something that I just can’t get checked.
The salvager is holding all the cards as he tries to pull off a shifty move, but some info comes to me that I wasn’t supposed to know, which could change everything. It comes down to the last minute… will I go for it, or will I decide that for a guy with not a lot of money, that cannot afford to make a mistake that it’s way too much risk, and just have to walk away from my dream.

Recap Previous Episode (Ep12)
In the previous episode, I was trying to buy a yacht, damaged in Hurricane Beryl on the other side of the world in Carriacou, a small outlier island of Grenada in the Caribbean, But the boatyard and Salvager were pulling the strings in the salvagers favour as he tried to buy several yachts, including Bennie, whilst at the same time quoting exorbitant prices to lift and right them, in an obvious tactic to get the yacht owners affected by the hurricane to sell to him for next to nothing.
Episode 13. Is This a SCAM?
Saga of a Hurricane Damaged Yacht Pt.3/4
A massive thanks to all of my legendary subscribers that looked at the inspection footage from the last episode and commented or gave advice and opinions, there was some really great points of view in there, and as this is all a massive learning experience I was so grateful to be able to get so much advice from this awesome community, and because I had so much great input, I think I’ve been able to make the right decision, as I’ll explain in this episode.
I’ll also blame you don’t make the right choice haha nah just kidding.
