My Nov 2017 issue of 'Chesapeake Bay Magazine' has a very good article on what a Basic 'Boat Survey' entails for the Buyer. A good read for anyone in the market
buying a boat IMO
It's a couple of pages long by Mr Jay Moore. No filler all killer as they say about Cheas'peake crab cakes
Oh, and Pg 74 in the same issue has the 'Annual
Service and
Maintenance Checklist' for folks without one of their own. Even though the magazine is geared towards 'what's happening around the Bay parts', it's a great monthly read along the lines of say, what 'Cruising World' was back in the 1970's
Makes you want to order some crab cakes long distance every time you put it down LOL!
