Inspecting a 27 foot sailboat for a buddy

[@john197039]

Is it a bolt on keel that needs tightening?

[@smallengineguys]

@@john197039 I was thinking the same thing I’ll be digging deeper this weekend to find out

[@mikalliz2167]

I remember this boat in St Augustine

[@smallengineguys]

@@mikalliz2167 it’s in palatka now

[@mikalliz2167]

@smallengineguys I recognize the yard there. The boat has dolphin ls on the hull. I remember it from like 20 years ago. I used to live there before moving to Indonesia

[@smallengineguys]

@ nice! I’m looking for a 41 outisland or maybe a catamaran. Indonesia is one place I’m really wanting to go to

[@mikalliz2167]

@smallengineguys it's definitely beautiful here and easy slow

[@rakanzahed5588]

for the price to repair that thing you could almost buy a brand new 27 footer

[@smallengineguys]

@@rakanzahed5588 new 27 foot sail boats are anywhere from 100kTo 300k. I can put 40k in this and know everything in it how it works and it would be like a brand new 150k boat. You can buy a 300k boat break down in china and have no clue what to do. Also your warranty isn’t worth dick out of country. It’s one thing for everyone to think you’re an idiot. It is very different to open your mouth and prove it.
