A complete bust, didn't even finish the survey. I just walked on this survey 1/3 of the way through.
Broker rate boat "stone cold 10"
In someways I feel like a fool !
In my pre-visit survey I need to stop being such a nice guy with the owners and brokers. I need to open every hatch, door, test A/C's, test appliances etc. before I schedule a survey.
Am I wrong to do this ?
Why I walked,
- 3 New A/C's installed, installation records....but only one worked !
- Mid-aft fuel tank not used, Ok I'll check it out.....only to find it was under water. Yes underwater. Mid bilge filled with water to within inches of the floor.
- FYI, this fuel tank is under the 3rd bunk and floor, starts at the end of the master bed and runs toward the front of the boat. It's under the closet where the washer and dryers seems to be installed on these boats.
- Could not locate the 2 of the 3 bathroom sump pumps...given the water in the bilges it probably just drained there.
- water system had so many leaks we could not keep the water pressure pump on
- 3 new bilge pumps, installation records provided....none worked
I could go on for hours...
Oh yea...the FBI will be looking at us as we keep sending $12,000-15,000 to broker all over the country, and then getting it wired back.....LOL
On to the next one, flying in for a pre-survery on Tuesday morning, I'll let you know how it goes
