This Old Fiberglass Boat: Episode 1 - Part One - Buying an Old Fiberglass Boat

followed all of your guides and ended up with a mint condition Grampian 26. The irony isn't lost on me.

Okay, lived aboard for 15 years, bought used sailboats, and I really wanted to get into this, but this dude is so lame. Nothing to see here, move along.

Thank you for making this video series.

so i have a newport17. cleaned it, slept in it. came back 2 days l8r everything had fuzz growing on it, cabin interior ceiling fiberglass was damp and wet though from dew in morning and now i smell the mold within 3ft of approaching the boat, it comes back and back again, is there any hope Im ready to move on

puassy

very good info thanx a lot:)

I have watched scores of videos on "getting into" sailboats. I have to thank you for two little bits of advice that you've been the first to mention. I had thought that I would prefer getting an outboard over having an inboard so that the internal space could be used for additional storage. I hadn't thought of something as mundane as the internal smell of an inboard nor had I thought of taking the engine to a mechanic instead of a mechanic to the engine. Brilliant on both counts! Thanks!

Very useful video, thanks!

Very good!

Yeah, soft soggy decks are a real problem.

thank you for taking the time to make this video. Now, on to your next video.

Brokers work for the boat owner. Their main concern is to sell the boat at the highest price possible as quickly as possibly and get their commission. They do not work for the buyer or have any concern for the buyer. They are expert "sales" people.
