How to tell without removing the paint?


What is the situation here? Are you looking to buy this boat? How big of a
boat is it?

If you are not sure, the best thing you can do is to pay a professional
surveyor to take a look at it. If you are considering buying the boat, make
an offer with a contingency of an acceptable survey. If the seller accepts
the offer, then hire the surveyor to check it out. It is typical for a
survey to cost around $10 per foot of boat length. If it is a large boat
then you may also need to pay to have the boat hauled out of the water.

you mean $100 per foot?
