Post a photo for us?

Yes, the survey did influence our decision quite a bit. I'll give some examples:
1) What looked like an impact on the bow while the boat was in the
water turned out to not look like much of anything when the boat was out of the
water. We could tell that all that happen was that the
anchor roller was too small and that caused the minor distortion of the toe rail.
2) The inspector determined that only a couple of the inner shrouds needed to be replaced (a huge cost savings there). It seemed as though many of the other shrouds had previously been replaced.
3) He found no evidence of any water penetration through the
deck hardware.
4) While the boat has mostly been inactive for many years, the
service company must have done a great job because the bottom was very clean, the through-hulls were creature-less, the zincs were in good shape, the
diesel starts and runs easily, the seacocks operate smoothly...
