Hello, I'm looking at a '82 Catalina swing keel. Is there anything in particular to this year that I should pay attention to??? The boat has been well taken care of and I will get a survey done. Thanks1 Tim Pinkham

Stress Cracks

Hi There, In answer to your question, I would be on the alert for stress cracks at critical points such as hull and deck joint, outboard motor bracket attachment to the hull, swing keel housing and amount of free play in the swing keel itself along with the mounting bolts. Check them for tightness and also to see if they might be stripped out. To me those would be the most obvious. Any delamination of the glass, or blistering also could be a reason to devalue the boat in your favor. Happy Sailing , Dave LaPere
