Mustin's part-by-part look at hull, deck, rig, and machinery is both a minicourse for transforming used-boat shopping from a game of craps to a science, and the first step in a holistic boat maintenance program. His discussion of the significance of cracks found in aging hulls and decks is the most thorough in print. He is not shy in assessing the lack of regulation of professional surveyors, nor does he shrink from pointing a finger at shoddy building practices. Having a used boat surveyed is a critical prelude to buying it. Yet a professional survey is expensive--several hundred dollars. Surveying Fiberglass Sailboats will enable you to conduct your own surveys while narrowing the field, then monitor a professional surveyor's performance when selecting your target boat.

Navigate the hazards of boat ownership with absolute confidence Next to your house, your boat may well be the biggest investment you ever make. Buying and owning a boat involves one baffling decision after another. Yet informed, impartial guidance is almost impossible to find--until now, that is. This essential manual provides a method to the madness of boat buying and ownership, plotting a straight course through an ocean of confusion while it answers such questions as: Why fractional ownership often makes sense How to avoid buying a boat you'll never use How to identify the Goldilocks boat--not too big, not too small How to choose a powering option How to negotiate the best deal on any boat-new or used How to be your own surveyor, and why even a new boat may need a professional survey Why you should finance your boat even if you have the cash, and where to find the best loans How to calculate the total cost of ownership before you buy!

Arthur Edmunds has created a tremendously informative book concerning fiberglass boats and their systems. Fiberglass Boat Survey will guide you through the process of choosing a boat type for your intended use. This book then continues by detailing exactly what you should inspect on any boat before you make an offer of purchase. Granted, a professional surveyor's report will be required at a later date to secure financing and insurance, but this book will guide you through the same process the professional surveyor will use. When you complete your own survey, you will have a list of the positives and negatives which you can hold in hand at the time of your offer. This step will not only enable you to make a fair offer, but also will certainly prevent surprises when the surveyor files the final report. You will not have your hopes built up only to have them dashed by the professional's report. You will know all of the information before you make your first offer. This book also offers information for locating, hiring, the customary fees for, and interaction with the professional surveyor. If only there were a book like this for used cars!
