Cat 30 Smile...


Here's a Cat 30 smile that went bad - wasted keel bolts allowed the ballast keel to separate from the underbody .... this boat started to take on water. This is one area where a surveyor can't see. You can sound the keel bolts - but there's no magic bullet to determine if they're completely rusted off unless you drop the ballast - no cheap or easy task. bring on the 5200 and pray....
