Looking to buy a used sailboat but don’t know what to look for? Do you want to understand some basic things to watch out for in order to pre-qualify or eliminate sailboats from your want-to-buy list? We have you covered. Veteran surveyor, Jim, is here to walk us through all the things he would watch out for based on his 40 years of experience surveying thousands of boats.
We take a look at sailboat propellers, max props, two-bladed props, three-bladed props, cutlass bearings, zincs, line cutters and prop shaft struts... and Jim helps us understand what to look for when buying a used sailboat.
