A 2007 Fountaine Pajot Salina 48-foot catamaran undergoes a professional marine survey in Key West, Florida, as part of a purchase agreement.8:07 The surveyor identifies several maintenance issues, including stuck turbochargers on the engines, an inaccurate starboard tachometer, a malfunctioning alternator, and cracked standing rigging.5:27 The hull shows minor blistering and localized fiberglass flex, which the surveyor attributes to the vessel’s foam-core construction rather than structural failure.9:09 Despite these findings, the surveyor confirms the boat possesses solid bones, prompting the buyers to proceed with the acquisition as a project vessel.6:21 Following the survey, the crew prepares to depart for Clearwater, Florida, to restock supplies and fuel before a four-day motoring passage to Texas.10:05 The purchase serves as a transition for the owners, who intend to replace their current boat, Sunday, with this larger catamaran to accommodate their growing family.2:32 A thorough marine survey can distinguish between cosmetic fiberglass flex and critical structural damage in older foam-core catamarans.
