Thanks B, and Bruce! No, not a project boat, just an old boat that looks great inside and out and has the baggage of being powered by triple nickels. The seller made no mention of any grounding. There are logs but the most recent records since 2011 are just invoices. And they are high. Like as in, $300K, that type of high. $3K here, $10K there, $29K there, the yard alone billed like $250K in 2012, mostly for paint and refit related items. No structural repairs - oddly they left alone some spore activity in the forward portion of the pilothouse, under the dash. They said it was only wood framing "forms" for the prefab glass panels to attach to, and not structural, so, not a big deal. I was like, dang, you could have at least sprayed it 5 years ago... Now it goes all the way from port to starboard in that sill plate, way to go folks! The mechanic who's been working on the boat for the past few years says it is "built like a brick sh*thouse."
Not sure if Jotun Seaforce 30 is available on the West Coast here, but I will look into it. That would be a yard labor item, not a DIY.
