- 5.7 mercruiser w/alpha 1, trailer boat, fresh water usage
i recently looked at a used sea ray 215 (thinking about buying).......the boat was in good condition for being 21 years old, but i did notice that one side, above the water line, the finish looked dull........now the boat has been sitting, outside storage, all winter, and i believe the owner hasn't used it in a year or so...........anyway, the boat had not be cleaned before being put away had usual grime on it..............i went up to the dull part and rubbed my finger on it.........it initially felt not as smooth as the rest of the boat, and my fingers got a white "chalk" like residue on them........i felt the area, and it did feel a little smoother after i rubbed it.......my question, is this a breakdown in the fiberglass or something else..........i am going to have the boat inspected before any offer, but i thought i would start here......can anyone help me on on this...............thanks...
