Pre-purchase. She needs a good cleaning.

Sure did!

One of my first projects before launching my new to me 22 Cruiser is proactively re-sealing screws and hardware. I'd also like to pull off the lazarette hatches and the rod holders the previous owner installed and seal the exposed core. I know the best way to do this will be with epoxy but I'd...

It'll be a couple of weeks. I'm having them do a full service on the engine too. Hoping I can do most of that myself in the future but for starters I want a good baseline. I also need to do a good deep cleaning but I really want to have her launched by the end or March, if possible.

I met with the boat yard's main fiberglass guy and we went through the surveyor's findings together. We're going to fix the 2 areas we know need repaired (around the lazarette, rod holder, and the freshwater fill,) and I'll start rebedding all the other screws and deck fittings. He doesn't...

Leaning towards buying her and hoping no major problems develop. She's up at the yard right now where they checked her motor and looked at fixing the crack for me. I'm going to have them look at the water fill area and get their opinion on the floor. Then I'll make a decision.

That's the funny thing...the survey gave me less piece of mind! I would've had no idea the floor was possibly wet until her meter started pinging. Would've probably used the boat for years with no idea but now I'm wondering if there's a major problem lurking (a la Scallywag.) The more I'm...

She's incredibly thorough which is why she was recommended to me. We percussed probably every 6 inches of the boat. She's been doing this for 20+ years. She's telling me it's no big deal and I've spoken to another C-Dory owner offline who also said he wouldn't worry about it.

Just left the survey. Looking for some advice from the group. Bottom line, the surveyor was very impressed with her condition and found nothing that concerns her about a 14 year old boat. Especially at the price point I'm getting her. The stuff I was concerned about (obvious moisture around...

That's exactly what I'm hoping. Unless we identify some major issues, she should still be well under he market value, even with repairs. I'll be attending the survey with the surveyor so although I won't have the official report tomorrow, I should still know what problems we find.

Thanks. Fingers crossed for the survey on Weds.

Beautiful boat CaptMac. I was actually looking for a 19 until this 22 popped up. Too good of a deal to pass up.

I told the surveyor today that my biggest concern is water damage. I'm really hoping she doesn't find too much. I did some more digging around the boat today because it was raining and I wanted to look for leaks. I definitely found some problem areas. Someone installed rod holders in the port...

Yup, we're going to do all those things. (I meant to say water pump not water filter in the post above.) Survey is on Weds.

The Mechanic checked her out today and gave a good report on the motor. He doesn't see any issues with it. 147 hours. He's suggesting we replace the water filter and do some other service items just to be thorough. Steering and rigging is good. The quote to fix the crack by the lazarette...
