The Sea Trial Playbook
$9.99
How to test a boat before you buy her — the way a captain does. The WOT run most buyers skip, the smoke that tells you where to look, and every system checked.
Description
The sea trial is the last chance to walk away cheaply. Most buyers treat it like a joyride and sign. Captains treat it like a job interview where the boat is the candidate — and the candidate lies.
The full playbook: why the engines must be stone cold, how to read exhaust smoke, the wide-open-throttle run that most buyers skip and that catches a fouled prop or a tired engine, watching temperature under sustained load, the steering and handling tests, and the systems run where every screen, pump, head, and the generator gets turned on and proven. Plus what to check after you return — the hot restart, the second bilge look, and the dipsticks.
Pairs with a professional survey; never replaces it. Includes the full checklist. Instant download.
