- Currently looking for next boat
I am getting ready to survey a 2003 Ocean Alexander 456. Those who are curious can see her on Yacht World in Pompano Beach, FL.
I am looking for lessons learned. This is my third boat and second used boat. With so little experience, I am wondering what you would have done differently or things you are glad you did. This boat has two generators, making a total of four engines, so I am also getting an engine survey and oil analysis. I am using surveyor Brian Setler, who some of you recommended as well as numerous folks on the cruising forum.
Those of you who said a boat failed survey, what kind of things caused it to fail? In short, I would love to hear what might have made you say "I wish I had known this going in." I would love to hear about your lessons learned.
Thanks in advance for sharing your wisdom.
