Hello All:
By way of update.
I spoke and emailed with
surveyor. I think he was being overly cautious. His opinion is that there is no compromise to the
hull and this is more likely gel coat crazing but he couldn’t verify internally. I also received more info on size, location and more detailed photos. I then took these to a local
surveyor / architect and his opinion was superficial cracking for any number of reasons; stand placement, overly thick gel coat application initially, natural flexing along grid lines... the
boat hull is solid fibreglass, no
core, so very unlikely any structural issues.
I thank all for input. For some if I wasn’t clear this was on the underwater area of the hull. Going ahead with the
purchase.
Best regards to all.
Keith
