How did the survey go??

 

[Morticiah]

Thank you all.

 

Survey? What survey!!!

 

I can't believe that it's actually happening! My dream/nightmare is coming true.

 

I suspect that celebratory amounts of Gin are likely to be consumed over the next few weeks!

All the very best Morticiah !!!!! Hang on for a hair raising ride

I bought my boat without having a survey, I'm a bit of a risk taker.

 

If I bought another one I still wouldn't have a survey done but I would launch a kayak and have a good feel down the sides for pitting and those nasty raised rust bits that leave a pit when you scrape them off. I couldn't check the baseplate this way of course but I could get a hand under the counter, and reckon on this being in similar condition to the base.

 

Bit reckless maybe, but probably not as reckless as just buying on sight.

Hi, wow you went from your first post 14 days ago asking about surveys, and advice, to

Survey? What survey!!!

I love your style

Hey! Mort'.

 

Nice one.

 

Well? What's the boat like?

 

Do tell. Then we can all take the pee and scare the hell out of you. (But only in jest).

 

Anyway. Well done.

When I make a decision I don't mess about!

 

She's a 58' Cruiser Stern built by Liverpool Boatbuilders.

 

I'm scared to say too much about it just in case anything goes wrong!!

 

Everything about her appears perfect for me and my strange little ways.

I was looking for a Trad but as soon as I got on board - I pretty much knew that I was going to have to buy her.

 

She's been well maintained and I have a copy of the survey that was done a few years ago - plus I have the option to get a survey done in a couple of weeks if I want.

 

So fingers crossed.

[ROBDEN]

Excellent.

 

Just make sure the fore and aft waffle plates are ok and the nerckle pins are still intact

and Robert's your mother's brother.
