A survey without pictures, probably not Nams or Sams. Get a bid for strip at haul out, get a survey consideration for that amount. You will pay for the amount of repair, epoxy, type of paint, how many coats, waterline strip.
I might be more concerned about the 5000 hours on the Perkins.
Color from the seller? In the end, buyers responsibility.
Rocky Point would be my choice and not till next winter.
Good Luck!
Agree 100% ... we have put it under contract and hired a different surveyor than last time ... SAMS accredited and highly recommended by multiple disinterested sources. Also found the mechanic that has done work on this particular boat to handle mechanical/sea trial. I was concerned about the engine hours as well, but we're getting a pretty good price as far as I can tell (accounting for the hours) and putting aside a pretty good chunk for an engine reserve just for major engine work/overhaul/etc (in addition to other maintenance reserves). Mechanic also spoke very highly of this one. Surveys and trial next week.
