Re: Here I go again!! 1995 Sea Ray 220 Signature Deck and Stringer Restoration SPLASH
I liked that quick inspection tour video you recently posted on Youtube of your "Frisco Jarrett covert activities" in inspecting a Cobalt 25 footer for your friend.
You were mentioning ideas on more videos for needed for educating boaters and whatnot.
Depending on circumstances, time, and how cooperative some boat sellers might be in sneaking a few small discrete short segments of video, you might want to post every once in a while a video doing what most would call a "marine survey" of a vessel to decide on a potential purchase.
At least not often enough to be well known or noticed in the area where it becomes an issue, and maintaining ownership privacy.
I see this greatly helping the most with people new to the boat buying process involving fiberglass boats, especially ones with inboard or I/O engines.
Here is some of the suggestions directed on videos to those new to the used boat buying process:
#1. Obvious signs of neglect/damage that is not cosmetic (leaking freeze plugs, hull damage, drive damage, etc.)
#2. Less obvious signs of neglect/damage that is structural and harder to find (stringer rot, floor rot, transom issues, etc.)
#3. How to determine value in a boat that may just have a reasonable amount of superficial neglect but not drive system or structure. One that is about 1980's, typical bowrider or bass boat, and one mid to late 1990's bowrider or bass boat.
#4. Anything else that my brain fails to recall on this exact moment.
) splash guard. I had the non-marine model of this stereo in my Honda and was super pleased with it.
