2013 Beneteau Oceanis 37 "Grey Goose", Emeryville, CA 94608

Is this definitely the deep keel, and is there any grounding, keel-smile, bilge weeping, sump crack or keel-bolt corrosion history?

Draft passes the 6.5 ft gate only with a small margin, and keel structural findings can dominate the purchase decision.

Can the owner provide the 2024 bottom-job invoice detail, including blister findings, barrier coat status and any laminate repairs?

A recent bottom job is positive, but it can also hide what the surveyor needs to understand.

Has any deck hardware been rebedded or core-isolated, especially stanchions, genoa tracks, clutches, windlass, bow roller and chainplates?

The deck is balsa sandwich and the cost difference between dry fittings and wet core is large.

What are the Yanmar 3YM30 engine hours and detailed records for heat exchanger, mixing elbow, mounts, injectors, valve adjustment, raw-water pump and hoses?

A $882 service may be basic fluids only; missing age-sensitive peripherals create a wide offshore-readiness spread.

Why were the upper and lower spreaders replaced in 2025, and were mast tangs, spreader bases, fasteners and mast corrosion inspected aloft?

Recent spreader replacement could be routine, impact-related or corrosion-related; the cause changes spar risk.

Has rudder bearing play, stock condition, moisture/weeping at stock entry and emergency tiller fit been checked recently?

A spade rudder problem before a Pacific crossing is a high-impact failure mode but not visible from listing text.

List the exact model and install year of chartplotter, radar, AIS, VHF, wind/depth/speed instruments and network backbone.

Existing electronics may zero catalogue lines if current and supported, or may be obsolete checkmarks with little offshore value.

What is the dated invoice history for all standing rigging, including forestay inside the furler, split backstay, shrouds, terminals, toggles and turnbuckles?

Undocumented 2013 wire will be 15 years old at departure and likely becomes a $8k-$17k replacement before offshore insurance.

Provide the 2024 Spaulding invoice detail for the thru-hull inspection: count, materials, seized valves, hose/clamp condition and any replacements.

A line saying inspection does not tell whether original valves are serviceable for offshore use.

Have all hatches, portlights and the PMMA companionway been hose-tested, and are there leaks, crazing or gasket replacements?

A dry 15-year-old hatch is fine; multiple leaking openings become an expensive offshore-readiness project.

What exact autopilot computer, drive unit, rudder reference, control head and installation date are fitted, and is it below-decks or wheel-drive?

A checkmark autopilot may be inadequate for a loaded Pacific crossing and could leave the generic offshore autopilot line fully in place.

What are the house-bank chemistry/capacity, charger model, inverter model, alternator output, main fuse layout, and any wiring diagrams?

Recent batteries do not prove safe high-current DC or a system that can accept the centrally priced offshore energy upgrades.

During the 2024 shaft-seal job, were cutless bearing play, shaft condition, coupling alignment and prop condition measured or repaired?

A new shaft seal is positive but can coexist with bearing, alignment or prop problems.

Are EPIRB, PLBs, fire extinguishers, PFDs, flares and MOB gear current, registered and dated?

This does not create boat-specific cost because the central catalogue prices it, but it determines which generic lines can be zeroed.

What anchor model/weight, chain size/grade/length, rode age, windlass make/model and gypsy size are aboard?

The listing's electric windlass does not prove compatibility with the 5/16in G4 chain and primary anchor being priced elsewhere.

Do the freshwater tanks hold pressure with pump off, do any sanitation hoses smell, and has the water heater or head been rebuilt?

Tank/pump/hose failures are usually not catastrophic but consume time and money before departure.

Is any tender, outboard or stowage hardware included despite not being listed?

No generic dinghy/outboard line should be zeroed unless actual material, age and condition are evidenced.

Has the diesel tank ever been opened/cleaned, and can the owner provide recent primary-filter contents or a tank-bottom fuel sample?

Fuel starvation in remote motoring approaches is avoidable if contamination is found before departure.

What is the furling genoa's age, sailmaker, cloth, UV-cover age and latest loft inspection result?

The 2022 mainsail is documented, but an original genoa would be a likely replacement before the Coconut Milk Run.

What exact batteries were installed in 2023 and 2024, with model numbers, capacity, chemistry and install photos?

The low invoice suggests a small lead-acid bank; it may have little value against the planned offshore energy system.

Does the 2023 dodger have grab rails, clear forward visibility, offshore-secure fasteners, and any bimini or shade structure?

The dodger is recent, but its offshore usefulness depends on attachment, visibility and handholds.

Which halyards, reefing/furling lines, sheets and control lines have been replaced in the last five years?

Original running rigging at 15 years should not be relied on offshore, but a recent line inventory could avoid replacement.

Which berth can be used as a lee berth underway, and are there existing lee-cloth anchors, positive locker latches and galley restraints?

The three-cabin comfort layout needs functional offshore restraints, not just nice accommodation.

What is the liferaft make, capacity, ISO/offshore rating, pack type and last authorized service date?

The listing liferaft cannot be counted as the offshore 6-person catalogue raft without serviceable offshore documentation.
