Hi All,
I am scheduled to have a survey done on a prospective purchase at the end of October and if all goes well I'll be an official member of the Ericson family. The boat seems to be in bristol condition and I am not expecting any major issues. My question is what should the surveyor/I be looking for when it comes to known issues of a boat of this vinatge. She is on the hard and has been winterized so I may not be able to test the engine unless I am willing to pay for a quick relaunch and re-winterization. What kind of questions should I be asking the surveyor before during and after the survey? Thanks in advance.
