    UPDATE; I signed the Doc's yesterday! Life got busy last week (read WORK) and literally lost focus on the Survey concern, and I now own a new boat! (my wife complains about my ADD all the time...I guess she's right). Well, I bought the beauty from a very reputable dealer on the Cape, and at this point can only look forward and not back. The cost of the survey was never my concern, it was the should I or shouldn't I. Thanks for all your feedback/input...I can't wait for SPRING !

    The boats an Edgewater 318 cc . I am trading my Scout 280 Abaco (going from Express to Center) I will be financing a portion of this boat, so the Surveyor will be a must. I am on Cape Cod, any recommendations/resources I could search for a good surveyor?

    I am about to pull the trigger on a Dealer Demo boat ('08 boat). I sea trialed yesterday, and confirmed it had 60 hours on the engines (advertised at 30...though it could have been an old post on Yachtworld). Anyway, looking for advice on whether or not I should have the boat surveyed, based upon those hours? Thanks

    I thought about that, but my tie downs are below the water level of the boat (beneath the swim platform). I assume that would make them off limits....am I wrong?

    I know...this isn't fishing but w/3 first mates under 12, I am concerned there may be a mutiny this summer if I don't get it done. I have a Scout 280 Abaco, and it's not outfitted for towing (tubes, skiers...). I don't know if it's intentional by the manufacturer, or simply that the boat is intended for fishing/cruising. My questions: 1. Could it be possible that boats hull material is not capable of the towing load (plenty of power, dual 225's)? 2. If it is capable, any advice as to how to retrofit the boat to attach the tow rope? (note there's very little...less than 2" between the motors, so a central cleat probably wouldn't work) Thanks JB
