Hi All
I am about to purchase a 2016 Capri sport 22 with the swing keel. The surveyor tells me the keel is a bit loose. First, while I have read that this is not a rare issue with this boat, but I am a little surprised to know it is already an issue in a 5-6 year old boat. That aside, how much play in the keel should trigger repair? Also, what is the recommended repair and is there any kind of upgrade to make the hinge pin assembly any more robust than stock? How much should I pay for this repair?
Any advice or input on how I should approach this would be welcome!
