The 5-Minute DIY Sailboat Survey: A 15-point inspection to vet potential sailboat purchases!

@boatfools  #sailing #sailboatsforsale #boatsurvey This is The 5-Minute DIY Sailboat Survey - a 15-Point Inspection that you should be able to whip though in about 5 minutes. This is a top level, simple DIY list that will help you quickly determine if a sailboat is worthy of being on your potential wish list. You've got your budget, your place to moor and store your boat, now you just need your dream machine to make it all come to fruition. You have 5 sailboats within your budget and you don't want to hire a marine surveyor to look at everyone of them. So what do you do? You get out there and start kicking the proverbial wheels, or jack stands, as it were. You have the know-how and this list will keep you focused. Grab a large screwdriver, a notepad, a flashlight, and a camera and get out there! Sailing season is coming right up - don't miss another one! Below is more or less what we go over in the video. Have any questions? Contact us at [email protected]. And, if you're more experienced and this is boring for you, leave some tips, tricks, and hacks in the comments for the less experienced boaters out there! Thanks for watching and get busy sailing or get busy trying!
