I tightened the keel bolts and THEN got the survey ;) That said, they're trying to make sure it is loose bolts and NOT the fiberglass itself coming apart.

Everything I read tells me the C&C smile is just how it goes, and I've seen the cosmetic repair section here. Keel bolts look beautiful. The inspector told me verbally that it's perfectly fine. But in his written survey, he added this CYA material: "I believe the keel to stub crack is fairing compound coming loose and the normal separation due to expansion" with recommendations: "further investigate and repair as necessary" The insurance guy wanted the survey and has said coverage is contingent on " further testing (ultrasonic) to determine whether or not that crack is compromising the structural stability of the vessel. " Has anyone any idea how ultrasonic testing could relate at all to this? Can anyone point me to material that might convince the insurance guy that there are less expensive means that will tell us more? Or maybe someone can just point me to a better boat insurance agent? Many thanks!
