Well we had the survey yesterday which I was present for and lasted all day.
The boat was hauled and the bottom was inspected. Still waiting for the service
guy to evaluate the engine. I don't yet have the write up
Findings so far (most I knew about) are;
1. Very neglected 1-2 yrs, spider webs, mud dauber nests, water in bilge, etc
2. Keel bolts are SS but nut are steel and are very deteriorated
3. Mainsail very dirty, stained in fair condition
4. !50, 110 hank on sails very good condition (5-6 yrs old)
5. Sail cover shredded, non usable
6. All ports leaking
7. Lifelines in good condition
8. Electronics non working (wind speed, direction, depth, boat speed)
9. Dead Batteries but battery charger good
10. All electrical systems work
11. Bottom looks ok ('normal' amount of blisters?) Keel straight, minimal slop
in rudder, cutlass bearing ok
12. Most lines needs updating.
13. rigging-I had to leave so have to wait till I get the survey paper.
14. waste tank ok but the hoses need redoing.
15. water tank- ok
16. Fuel tank ok but needs new filler hose. There appears to be no fuel filter
in line to engine.
If the engine evaluation comes back ok, good compression, etc then I am still
very interested.
This boat was listed for $9750.00 and I offered 5k contingent upon survey. The
surveyor siad he would probably value it less maybe 3k.
Do you think I should re-negotiate less?
