Hello! I'm looking at a 1990 H30T that has been sitting on it's trailer for 3 years. It has been a freshwater boat its whole life. I saw two things that concerned me and before I continue with having it surveyed I wanted to seek some opinions here first. The keel joint is showing significant cracking which I understand could be considered somewhat normal and repairable although, in some cases, a complete removal may be necessary. Wondering how bad this looks and if it a major or minor fix. The other is some noticeable deflection at the base of the compression post. You can see it in relation to the cabin sole. Couldn't remove the sole to look underneath. On deck at the base of the mast you can see about a 1/4" - 3/8" deflection. I laid a companionway hatch board across it for measure. It's a little hard to see but if you zoom in you can see it. Is this to be considered normal and no big deal or the beginning of a much bigger problem? I should add that a looked at the keel bolts and they all looked fresh and shiny without noticeable rust. The bilge was clean and dry too but its been on land for a while.
Thanks in advance. Any advice or feedback will be greatly appreciated.
