I wouldn't even think about any boat without a survey. I don't care if it is a NorSea or a Bristol Channel Cutter. I got good grades on the survey when I sold my NorSea, until it got pulled out of the water and it had 200 quarter size blisters. The last time I had it hauled and bottom painted her, she looked great. 16 months later....

I would have to agree with Dave. The sentence "This boat needs more attention than I can give it." is more than a little scary! hahaha. Coming from someone that purchased a Florida boat that spent the better part of 25 years floating in nice warm tropical salt water.....uh.....yeah.....my advice.....HIRE a marine surveyor. A lot of things can hide under a few coats of ablative bottom paint. hahaha...I wouldn't choose to walk down that path again...I don't think I have it in me.....I'm sure 'Jo doesn't! hahaha :-)
