Advice on cracks in a Mariner 31

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

I'm hunting for a new (to me) boat.

One of the boats I am looking at has been used for game fishing so it's been outside, and in my first inspection aside from the a whole heap of cosmetic issues I saw some cracks in the flooring of one of the lockers just aft of the V berth, opposite the head.

It could be that someone has just thrown something heavy in there- or something heavy has been thrashed around in rough weather but I'm not sure if this is a serious structural issue or a cosmetic repair. Should I write this boat off on the basis of that damage? I didn't see any other cracking like this anywhere else.

I'll be getting an inspection done on anything I purchase - but for a twin engine 30 foot boat that's about $1000 a time, so I don't want to do that too often if I should just look at something like this and nope-out.

Appreciate any feedback

EDIT: Just been told the boat has been sold.

Cheers

Mike
