Hi there, looking for some advice on a boat that I am considering purchasing. When we had it surveyed, we noticed that the keel floor tabs were lifting and there is staining visible in the cracks. It cannot be determined at this point how far the water has penetrated and if simply grinding and reglassing would suffice. Has anyone experienced or seen this type of deficiency?

Thanks!

Thanks Paul. Anxiously awaiting surveyor's report and seller's response to findings.

We were concerned because we didn't know where water would go if it penetrated below.

Paul, did you determine what caused the cracking?

No.

There are just to many reasons for causing these surface cracks....the water just brings attention to them.

Ask your surveyor, they have been trained to answer these questions.

You will learn about boat leaks and what to do with them as you progress as a boat owner.....you can always seek this site for advice .:poke:

Thanks for the advice! Decided to go ahead with the purchase. Now have to figure out how to sail the boat up to Vancouver from Seattle.

Looks like a nice boat. Congrats NUKA.

Witz,

We purchased a 2001 (hull #65) in December for $64K in RI. I have a list of all the C310 that sold through Yachtworld over the last 5 years and what the asking price and sale price was. This was from info from Soldboats.com. Our broker sent me the print out and I put a spread sheet together from the info to help in deciding on our offer price. If you PM me with your email I can send you a copy.

Thanks for the info, we bought ours in August of 2008 for 64.5K in Annapolis, AC and in mast furlowing, so it appears to be holding it's value quit well.

The surveyor said price should be 64k if deficiencies addressed by owner and 60k if not. We agreed to close to the lower number for this 2000 model.

NUKA, You are getting a well cared for 310, you will get a lot of enjoyment out of it. When you come by this weekend to pick it up, stop by and say hello if we are there. Slip D-4 "Big Luv" C309. I've been following your posts since we share some of the same hull parts. What did the surveyor have to say about the tabbing?

The surveyor didn't say what the cause was. He said it would require investigation and told us it would cost a couple of thousand to fix. We decided that we would take the boat 'as is' and will investigate it when we get it home to Vancouver. Hopefully, we will see you on the weekend.

Cheers, Nuka
