John,
Steve may be right, but as Gary and I both said, noting is more accurate than an actual inspection. Realize that not all of your thru-hulls may have been installed at the factory. The dealer may have added as well as previous owners. Frustrating as it may be, I would err on the side of caution and wait before you buy.

The thru-hulls they were manufacturing 30 years ago aren't available anymore, apparently. The closest I came were some buck algonquin ones but the diameter of the mushroom was smaller so they didn't exactly work. I would recommend going to mushrooms for all of them. This means that there will be a slight "dimple" around the mushroom if your holes are all countersunk like mine were. If you are concerned put down a layer of epoxy to seal the exposed FG before installing the new thru hulls. If you are racing you may want consider other options like filling the recess and then re-drilling the countersink to suit the size of the new flush fittings. That's a huge pain though, I tried that with mixed results. The recommendation to pull the thru-hulls first is sound advice. You can see what I'm describing here: http://www.morejoy.ca/stuff/Sea%20Swan/IMG_1913.JPG http://www.morejoy.ca/stuff/Sea%20Swan/IMG_1914.jpg http://www.morejoy.ca/stuff/Sea%20Swan/IMG_1930.jpg http://www.morejoy.ca/stuff/Sea%20Swan/IMG_1931.jpg http://www.morejoy.ca/stuff/Sea%20Swan/IMG_1932.jpg Your thru-hulls and holes may be different. You're welcome for the long email I sent you about all of this last night.

The head area thru hulls are mushroom style, as is the drain from the propane locker, but the cockpit drains are flush. Wait.

The year built is 1981/82. We have not hauled the boat since we bought it in 2010 and I can't remember from the survey quick lift what type they were. Also does anyone know what make the 3/4" seacocks are, I can't find any clues on the valve bodies, I know that the 1-1/2" are Groco SV, at least one of which I am replacing. The 3/4" are all in need of servicing so it would be nice to know who the manufacturer was.
