Hoping to get some perspective from the group on a boat I’m interested in. I’m not a surveyor but I took some photos and video (in the link below) of a 86’ C&C MKIII I'm considering making an offer on. And would really appreciate some thoughts on it to save me the hassle of paying a surveyor if something is obviously wrong with it. The possible areas of concern without a proper survey and my limited knowledge are:
- water in the core of the deck around the mast (see photos) haven’t tested - corroded boom (hinge?) - some bubbling/corrosion under paint on engine - bad seal around two large side port-lights, interior I saw silicone around perimeter - few loose stanchions - original (I think) standing rigging Short story is owner bought it a year ago didn’t sail it much or from what I’ve seen, maintain it. Here is a link to view the photos/video I took. I did not do a correct test with a hammer or moisture reader on deck but did walk around quite a bit and there was nothing obvious in the way of soft spots. Anyway here is the link would love to hear what others think: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0Bx6tzmnoism-Y2g1UERWXzZ6NXM&usp=sharing Cheers Chris
