Buying a used Bali 5.2

• As a current model she can be ordered new; demo boats and nearly-new boats with remaining warranty are worth looking for.
• Inspect both hulls, keels and rudders for grounding damage and check the bridgedeck for cracks.
• Many Bali boats come out of charter fleets. Ask for the full maintenance log and read our guide Ex-charter or owner’s version?.
• Always commission an independent survey with a haul-out – see our buying checklist.
