Good afternoon everyone,
I usually help 6-10 customers with buying a good used trawler each year and those boats are not typically in my inventory. So when I go on the search for a specific boat, it is a "new" used trawler or motor yacht to me. I've got to inspect it in such a manner as to find problems with it if there are any. Think of it as a pre-survey.
One of the things I use is called a See Snake; it's a lighted camera with a 5' flexible shaft on it. I use it to look behind fuel tanks and beneath engines where needed. More often than not, I can find rusting tanks or corroded struts where without the See Snake, I'd never had been able to find the problem.
With this device, finding a good used trawler makes the task easier. I wonder why I never see surveyors using it?
