Ran into a potential problem with the boat sale. The buyer's surveyor
discovered that the oil pans on the engines were in bad shape and need
to be replaced. I never noticed (although I never really personally
inspected them having owned the boat for less than a year) and the
surveyor I had when I bought it missed them completely.

Just for my own further education, how did he determine they were not
longer fit for service? Has the boat seen salt water? I have only ever
had to replace one oil pan in 33 years working on boats (and it was
cracked) so this is very interesting to me.
