How about a new boat vs a 25 year old boat? or something like that?

Now that's just plain cruel.

I think that we should refrain from pointing out that Bob hops from one old
stepping stone to another, slightly better, old stepping stone.

You mean like my vastly superior 34XL built in 1993, launched in 94 with a suit
new sails that cost 1/3 of your boats value??!!!

Bwahahahahaha!

So the sails are worth twice as much as the boat???

Is this the same bevy of reviewers who love the latest Hunter boats? I've
rarely read a bad boat review.
Grow up.

I didn't mention a name, just an age. Old is old, New is new. Some people
prefer new to old and used. I just was wondering why I don't need to have a
new boat surveyed for the bank but do have to have a used boat surveyed?

No new Beneteau, Catalina or hunter is as well built as most Pearson's,
C&Cs,
Tartans or Cape Dory's.
Ask any surveyor who knows sailboats.

A fellow bought a new Beneteau 39 at my yard. He had to have it surveyed for
insurance.

Honestly, Bob, sometimes you are such an idiot.

BoatUS and Chubb (among other insurers) will and routinely do insure a
new Beneteau (and, for that matter, most other good-quality new boats)
without a survey

Again, ask anyone who repairs or survey's boats how Beneteau stacks up. Maybe
everyone lies to Donal, or just maybe he read the rave reviews in cruising
world, but never spoke to surveyors. Few people do homework before buying a
boat. If they did Beneteau would have to improve their game.
