Ideas and renegotiations

After the Survey, the thing to do is to try to come up with a figure that represents the shortfall between the vendor's expectation and the purchaser's hopes.
So we trawl through the list of issues highlighted by the surveyor, and point out one or two items that are missing or incorrectly described on the inventory.
I have spoken to the Engineer, who says it's a good engine, the man who repairs the bodywork, who says the stress cracking is mainly cosmetic.
I have called out a Gas Man who told me the heater wasn't working and needs a complete overhaul, he also mentioned that we will need a Gas Report Certificate in order to insure the boat. The cooker is gas.
I've spoken with a Rigger, to get a ball park idea of running rigging (all the rigging ropes) replacement cost....
I have spent an hour or two on ebay looking at second hand equipment. Now all I need is for the Broker to return my calls so I can let him know our revised offer.

In the meantime here are some pics of the interior:
