Bob is the BEST!!!!!…read more We have been fortunate to have Bob help us purchase and sell our Catalina sailboat. Then this year, Bob helped us purchase a 31' Legacy. Usually purchasing a boat is overwhelming, nerve wrecking, beyond stressful--no one wants to do it. But with Bob, he made the whole process seamless. Aaaaaaaah From paperwork, to communication, to having us dialed into the best mechanics, electricians, etc. was phenomenal! I highly recommend Bob Nahm. You will not be disappointed.

I tried to buy it off Craigslist directly from the seller but he was already locked into a contract with bob @ Seacoast, so I put in a cash offer w/ Bob the next day. Went back and forth on price + agreed on a survey timeframe and then the seller accepted my offer. I scheduled my survey and haul within the due diligence period, but then Bob took an offer from another buyer and attempted to back out of the purchase agreement with me! Then Bob sent me a strange email challenging my character and telling me that there was no way the seller would sell the boat to me, presumably to encourage me to just drop the deal so they could take the other offer and back out of our agreement. I contacted the California association of yacht brokers to discuss my options, and they noted errors in the purchase contract that Bob drafted and explained the legal process if I wanted to move forward with holding Bob and the seller to the accepted purchase and sale agreement. They confirmed that I could pursue my rights under the contract and would likely win in arbitration given the facts. Ultimately I decided that it was too expensive to litigate over a ~$50k boat so I let it go. I've purchased 3 boats in the past and have worked as a professional captain for a number of years in the US, Caribbean and Med. I have never run into such a strange situation, nor had the CA yacht brokers association. I can only assume that Bob was trying to maximize his commission on the listing rather than to try to build a relationship with a buyer that will probably purchase a number of boats in the future.

Thanks to him I steered clear of a problem boat and he connected me with a seller who had a clean boat he was selling at a reasonable price. I had Frank do a bottom cleaning and painting and install new batteries as well as put a new name on the stern.

Whether you are looking for a new electric boat or used one I highly recommend you go see Frank at Central Coast Electric Boats.
