Capability is scored for both standards from the same design research, re-weighted. The money is not: a coastal refit has to be costed on its own, which is why it can read “not analysed” above while the score beside it is real.

Assistant's read — an opinion, not a source

Grey Goose passes the draft gate, is already in the Bay Area, and is a relatively young, well-documented production cruiser with recent spending on engine service, bottom paint, dodger, spreaders, shaft seal, starter battery, house bank, and mainsail.
For the March 2028 Pacific plan, the major hull-specific concern is not obvious neglect but offshore suitability and age-band preparation: original or undocumented standing rigging will be 15 years old, the genoa and running rigging are not dated, the older Simrad/B&G electronics/autopilot need verification, and the Oceanis 37 is a light, beamy coastal/ocean-category cruiser rather than a heavy bluewater load carrier.

Costed to cross the Pacific.

Where to open

Suggested opening offer$72,500

Asking price less $46,500 — the negotiable share of $57,200 in disclosed and suspected defects plus $20,300 of weighted risk. Offshore upgrades are excluded on purpose: a watermaker and a liferaft are your ambition, not the seller's problem, and the next buyer wanting a Bay daysailer would pay near the ask.

Negotiable defects: $46,500
Weighted risk: $20,300
Max at high case: $38,414
