  2. I am considering the purchase of an LLC owned boat. I believe, according to your article, that I will want to purchase the LLC with contingencies for survey approval and any adjustments in price to reflect conditions discovered in the survey. The price of the boat will be somewhere between $200-$350K. Does your firm deal in purchases of this size and could you give me an approximate estimate fees? I’m trying to determine whether it would be better to go that route or to just purchase the boat and pay the sales tax. I can be reached at the email below or by phone at 510.499.4660 if you’d like to discuss this directly.
