There is some ugly goop around all of the
lifeline stanchions

Warning! Warning! Warning! (as the robot said to Will Robinson...) Get a
moisture meter if you're not going to get a survey...bad gook almost always
means bad leaks, which mweans bad deck....

I've decided to get a survey.

Dumb waste of money!

Right up until the surveyor finds something Steve missed,
then it becomes a very smart move indeed.

So tell me please how smart it is to pay somebody
200 or 300 bucks so you end up buying nothing at all
but a service you must pay for again on the next boat?

That's if there's a huge problem you overlooked yourself
which is not likely for any sailor with eyes, ears and a brain.

If no problems are found then you've also thrown away
200 to 300 bucks.

Sounds pretty stupid to me.

Because of the time fact involved in finding the "huge
problem." Sure, if I have days or even hours to go
over the boat, I might find it, assuming I know all the
warning signs of all the possible problems. Unfortunately,
most boat yards won't let you leave the boat on the lift
for hours. If they put it on blocks, you have to pay per
foot for the day.

Sounds pretty smart to me, especially if you're talking about
several thousand $$ for a boat that needs major work.
