i paid a cruiser that had lived on his boat 12 years 250 bucks to spend the day on board ,, we took her out beached her , cleaned and expected the bottom and sailed her back home . upon his recommendations i made an offer on the boat ,, i then paid a rigger to inspect the
rigging which was 2 years old and had been replaced in the states at a cost of about 12,000 bucks, he agreed the
rigging was like new . the motors had 450 and 600 hours on them since
rebuild they started and ran great , i had alternators rebuilt and starters rebuilt. no official
survey ever done ,, having starboard
motor being rebuilt at this time .. i have had an offer of 39,000 as is where is i am considering ,, any one interested is welcome to pay for a
survey ..
