I just had a survey done on the 32 AT just outside ST. Paul, MN. I am posting this so others can benefit from the money I spent for a certified survey. Im not trying to blow up someones spot on a sale or looking to start anything just trying to save someone hundreds of dollars.
96 Active Thunder Power Boat Priced Reduced
Percussion of transom was indicative of moisture. The transom was 31% on the meter. (yes they did just get lots of rain and it was humid) Bottom of stringers were much worse. I will post the survey report for any one looking at the boat.

The hours on those meters were when I had the motors rebuilt 110 since the rebuild of motors would be my guess!! I personally installed those gauges so the whole boat has more hours on it!! The boat never had external steering on it unless they put it on after I owned it which I don't see in the pictures!! It's to bad I put a lot of money and time into that boat.

Yeah I think they were trying to pass along the work you did as work they just completed. At least that is the way it appeared. Chit he had the engines listed as 500HPs and when I called the owner said they were 454Mags. I figured out from the pics the were 450HPs.

They were the 450 hp blue motors!! Good thing we have OSO to let people know about stuff like this. The owner of the boat should just take it and get it fixed if it needs stringer work and transom work get it fixed and be done with it!!
