Yet another question for another issue on this boat I'm close to buying. (1995 370 sundancer)
The survey showed a soft area around the windless. He said to put a big plate under it when bolting it back up instead of the small circular washers there now.
I asked, well how serious is this? He said "you are getting the boat at the right price but the damage is done in this spot. You can leave it but you may take a hit when selling". And another odd thing is its a chainless windless! For a 37' boat! He seemed to think that was weird and to switch to a different one. But if that area is weak I wouldn't even want to use an anchor unless very calm water is under the boat.
So my question is this. Has anyone experienced this delamination or soft spot in this area? Is this a reason to walk away from this boat?
