We have the first of two surveys coming this Sunday. (different guy coming for the diesel) I'm a bit excited to say the least, but if he tells me to walk away ...well you get the idea.

I'm interested to see how this works for a larger boat with all sorts of doodads. I'll be back to enlighten.

An O'day 30.

I'm waiting for the formal survey to make notes here- though It might go straight to the insurance company without a copy for me -

In all the boat is SOLID. 2 major issues which are less than a day's fix combined. 15 or 20 minor issues which are mostly routine maintenance that was on the list to get done prior to launch anyway. I didn't know that the boat's deck has no core - it is glass on glass and very solid. Learned alot about the mast step, how they but the ballast into the keel (it isn't melted), what Universal Diesels are adapted from, amongst other things.

I'm going to be getting some pics soon I'll get them here asap

Is the keel cavity filled with loose buckshot?

Maybe it's like Com-Pacs... poured concrete. (I kid you not!)

They filled it with lead scrap, probably some concrete and any other heavy junk they could find.
