COLD engine start is a must! It will tell a lot about a boat.

I look to see if the boat has been kept clean…is the bilge dirty? Is the upholstery dirty, torn or missing? Those are the first signs of an abused boat then the scratches, dings, mismatched gelcoat and dirty running rigging.

Very informative about "Taco-ing" a sail boat. I had never heard anything like that. I watched a video of "Travel Sketch" where their boat is breaking at the exact places you mentioned on the front cross bar and was wondering about your thoughts on it. Do you think they are pulling their sails to tight and causing the boat to "Taco" or just bad construction?

Love your show and insights into what to look out for. BTW I'm glad you love OZ unlike another catamaran U.S. based family. Keep up the great work!

Great Video, great advice… the smell is our number 1 key to the life of a boat.
Megan, just wanted to say keep up the skin checks. Saved my life.. I’m 48, sailed since I was 5yo and recently diagnosed with a melanoma. I’m ok now and just lucky to have picked it up early. (Small pink spot behind ear.)
Recently sold our cat and upgrading shortly. Hopefully see you guys in your new boat soon.

Being a non-sailor, I only wish I could find such an enjoyable and insightful discussion on how to evaluate a home when buying. I love that your channel is about education and honesty rather than drama and "whatever it takes" to get clicks. Top notch viewing whether on land or sea!

I had never thought about the biological vulnerability of a balsa core. They even use it in the floor of one of the years of Corvette. The thought of a little "oops" going unnoticed but then becoming a growing weak spot definitely cancels the concept of balsa boats for me.

I also never knew that single-skin FRP boats existed. I thought they ALL used a foam core.

PS I realized that a foam core (using, among other products, the super-rigid core mat. I've felt that stuff, it's like wood) would be something I wanted for many reasons, including thermal insulation. With modern solar and hyper-SEER air conditioners available, one can have whatever "weather" one wants below decks, most especially with a very well-insulated boat.

(Thurston Howell III voice) Imagine the pleasure of having an army of climate servants at work 24/7 to ensure your sailing and living comfort, lovey!

Now there are a few more things I will be watching Nick and Megan pore over when they are choosing a purchase candidate!

I think the the O'Kelly's may find a boat in what are considered the worst market conditions and worst season to do so. Diligence trumps trends every day!

It's easy to see why you haven't bought a boat yet. You have so many gotchas that it would be impossible to find one.
