What To Look For In A Sailboat

As a boat head for 50 years, see if you can find the original weight of the boat. The hull fiberglass will delaminates without you ever knowing about it and as a result the bilge waterwater will eventually seep up by capillary actionill action and be trapped between they layers of fiberglass and totally change the ballast the characteristics .You can do two things, weigh the now and find the original weight or find a crusty surveyor who has been doing it forever. The exact thing happened to a friend of mine the he was suspicious about the price hired a surveyor who said ok and after a few years it wouldn’t even get up on plane. If the surveyor doesn’t show up with a sharp ice send him packing. If you keep a decent tarp on it and change the propeller seal on the prop shaft on the aux motor
You should be ok . Get a breathable cover I learned the hard way.
