He did mine. I wasn't unhappy with the work but since then I've questioned
the value of surveys in general. He didn't tell me anything I didn't know.
He did a good job but stayed within his scope. I can send you my survey if
you want a sample of the work. I do

I would second Peter , and while I agree with Steve’s “He didn’t tell me
anything I didn’t know” (I’m guessing in reference to an insurance survey after
owning the boat for a period of time) , when it comes to the initial purchase ,
I’d prefer to go with the “Pro” and attend if possible.
IMHO
For *insurance* surveys, you want the blind guy that does the survey from the
dock.
For pre-purchase, you want the guy that wriggles in behind the engine with a
light and a mirror.

Hi all,
I am getting ready to tackle the wet deck along the port genoa track and before
I start cutting, I have few questions for the group.
Gelcoat cracks and delamination is appearing almost the length of the track on
my 38 Mk2. I realize that not all spider cracks are due to wet core
Regardless of the surveyor that you choose, you may want to read and fully
understand his disclaimers in his contract before you use him or her.

Most surveys (pre-purchase and pre-insurance) don't include the rig or the
engine. Both can cause significant costs and risks. Each survey is in

I have had a couple of insurance surveys. If we did a pre-purchase back in 1977
I cannot find it.
I had to fight with the insurance surveyors about things related to water/gas
tight engine spaces that did not exist in 1973, but other than that no big
deal. They also really don’t like CNG unless
It sounds like you have removed the track? Have you excavated the holes?
I would. You may find that any rot doesn't extend too far under. I have
found that many of my original fittings have inadequate backing plates.
You could excavate the holes, refilled with thickened epoxy and then

Agreed with Steve, after reviewing MANY surveys over and crawling around
many boats, over 3 decades, I find most are very superficial indeed.To
be fair, most surveyors cannot realistically know the specific issues to
look for in each model.

An A4 does not a dealbreaker make.
I looked at the issue of A4 vs Diesel this way:
30 year old diesel or 30 old gasser.
The boats with the 30 year old diesel had about on average, a 5k markup
over their A4 brethren.
A 30 year old motor, is a 30 year old motor, is a 30 year old motor.
Gas or die
I was not suggesting an A4 was a bad thing – the old diesel would have no parts
or support at all and the A4 is very well supported.
Just that if the engine – of ANY kind – is RWC and the boat was used in salt
water to keep in mind that is a long time for an engine to last in salt. My

There are lots of resources for prop calculators but try the one below.
You'll have to know your engine max rpm and transmission gear ratio. It

Sam,
Congrats! It shows you are a man of intellect and taste!
My MaxProp 2 blade is set to 14 degrees. Prior owners tried 12 and 16
before settling on 14. It depends on the diameter of the prop as well as
the pitch. If the engine revs to max RPM with a clean bottom it is pitched
properly. 8

Are you using a broker? Did you exchange money? Did you sign a contract?
A typical brokered deal will follow an AYBA flowpath. The "deal" would be
signing a contract and putting 10% down (held in escrow). This earns you a

IIRC, I’m swinging a 10x16 Martec elliptical prop. Good forward performance.
Reverse requires a lot of rpms to get a response, but it works for me.
