Lloyd,

I have outdrives and there is no cracking in the glass at all. Grazing on
other parts of the boat but nothing on the transom.

I can see that this topic is resulting in a hung jury. I will certainly do
as Tom suggests and tap away but I will likely end up being at the mercy of
another surveyor or the "repair man". The original surveyor has passed away
so I can't probe him for details.


Out of curiosity, how old is the previous survey? That should give
you a good starting point to do a self-inspection.

Chuck and Loyld make some good points - there are some things that are
not necessarily the death knell for the boat.

In this case, it wouldn't hurt to reassure yourself that there isn't a
problem in that particular area.

Later,

Tom
