Thinking about buying a used sailboat? Before you pay for a marine survey, make sure the boat is even worth inspecting. In this video, we look at seven major used sailboat problems that can turn a good deal into a very expensive mistake, including soft deck core, rotten bulkheads and chainplate structure, keel-support damage, mast-step problems, hull delamination, structural mast repairs, and aging cored hulls.
If you’re searching the used sailboat market, comparing sailboats for sale, or learning how to inspect a sailboat before buying, these are the red flags you need to understand. A used boat survey can uncover a lot, but knowing what to look for during your first sailboat inspection can save you time, money, and a very painful refit.
