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.
| Item | Cost estimate | Probability | Priority | Product | What and why | Range | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $9,375 | |||||||
Replace undocumented standing rigging if original or more than 15 years old | $12,500 $0$33k | 75%$9,375 weighted into totals | blocks | — | — | $9k–$18k | Listing is silent on rig age. At purchase in late 2026 this 2004 hull is 22 years old; the reference's over-20-year band starts from wholesale replacement unless documentation, rigger and insurer say otherwise. |
| $2,000 | |||||||
Aloft spar and furler service | $2,500 $0$11k | 80%$2,000 weighted into totals | — | — | — | $1k–$6k | Listing states aluminum mast and boom but gives no spar, sheave, furler or gooseneck service history; 20-30 year band calls for detailed aloft check and selected service. |
| $1,750 | |||||||
Refresh mission-critical running rigging | $2,500 $0$9k | 70%$1,750 weighted into totals | — | — | — | $1k–$5k | Listing gives no running-rigging age; the design routes lines aft and carries reef, halyard, genoa and spinnaker controls, so UV/chafe condition matters for coastal passages. |
| $1,760 | |||||||
Loft inspection and coastal repair allowance for main and furling headsail | $2,200 $0$11k | 80%$1,760 weighted into totals | — | — | — | $700–$6k | Listing mentions roller furling headsail and performance sail plan but gives no sail ages, cloth, reefing setup or condition; coastal passages still require sound stitching, UV cover and reefing. |
| $2,700 | |||||||
Baseline engine service and resolve 3YM20/3YM30 identification conflict | $3,000 $0$13k | 90%$2,700 weighted into totals | blocks | — | — | $1k–$7k | Listing gives no engine hours or service records and conflicts between 29 hp headline and 21 hp detailed description; west-coast cruising depends heavily on reliable power for bars, current gates and lee shores. |
| $1,680 | |||||||
Shaft drive, cutless bearing and shaft-seal service allowance | $2,800 $0$13k | 60%$1,680 weighted into totals | — | — | — | $800–$7k | Listing states shaft drive but gives no cutless bearing, seal, coupling, alignment or prop service history; 20-30 year band calls for measurement and likely seal/bearing service if records absent. |
| $1,200 | |||||||
Fuel sample, filter baseline and tank/hose condition service | $1,600 $0$9k | 75%$1,200 weighted into totals | blocks | — | — | $500–$5k | Listing gives no tank material, hose dates, Racor type or fuel cleanliness; coastal route demands engine reliability at bars and current gates. |
| $2,450 | |||||||
Electrical safety audit and targeted repairs | $3,500 $0$17k | 70%$2,450 weighted into totals | — | — | — | $1k–$9k | Listing states 12V/110V, shore power, charger, batteries and panel but no age, diagrams, charger model, shore-safety protection or evidence of prior upgrades. |
| $840 | |||||||
Test and likely replace undocumented lead-acid start/house batteries | $1,400 $0$6k | 60%$840 weighted into totals | — | — | — | $300–$3k | Listing says house and start batteries but does not state chemistry, age or capacity; engine starting and nav/electronics reliability are coastal safety items. |
| $1,530 | |||||||
Resolve steering configuration conflict and service steering system | $1,800 $0$9k | 85%$1,530 weighted into totals | blocks | — | — | $500–$5k | Listing says wheel steering, while Jeanneau's specification and Yachting World review describe a tiller Sun Fast 35; whichever is fitted, the steering must be smooth and emergency steering proven before coastal bars and lee shores. |
| $0 | |||||||
No boat-specific autopilot defect costed; catalogue handles coastal pilot if absent | $0 $0$1k | 0%$0 weighted into totals | — | — | — | fixed | Listing does not state an autopilot. Missing generic voyage gear is priced by the central catalogue, not this hull-specific payload. |
| $0 | |||||||
Zero base cost: survey keel joint, bolts and sump; no keel defect disclosed | $0 $0$1k | 0%$0 weighted into totals | — | — | — | fixed | Listing states fin keel and no grounding, seam, bolt, corrosion or sump defect; standard survey/haul covers visible keel diligence. |
| $0 | |||||||
Zero base cost: survey rudder blade, stock and bearings; no rudder defect disclosed | $0 $0$1k | 0%$0 weighted into totals | — | — | — | fixed | Listing states spade rudder and no play, moisture, impact or steering complaint; standard haul survey covers first-pass rudder checks. |
| $2,625 | |||||||
Service winches, clutches, traveler and rebed any leaking high-load fittings found | $3,500 $0$18k | 75%$2,625 weighted into totals | — | — | — | $1k–$10k | Listing states primary/secondary winches, lifelines, stanchions and non-skid but no deck-hardware service; at 22 years selected sealant and winch/clutch service are expected. |
| $1,950 | |||||||
Exercise/service seacocks and replace any seized or non-marine valves | $3,000 $0$17k | 65%$1,950 weighted into totals | blocks | — | — | $500–$9k | Listing gives no through-hull inventory, material or operation. On a 22-year-old boat the 20-30 year band makes material identification and operation checks important. |
| $1,050 | |||||||
Sanitize water system and service head, pressure pump and hoses | $1,500 $0$9k | 70%$1,050 weighted into totals | — | — | — | $400–$5k | Listing states hot/cold pressure water, enclosed head and marine toilet but no hose, pump, tank or toilet age; 20-30 year band supports functional service rather than automatic tank replacement. |
| $720 | |||||||
Inspect/service existing bow roller, chain locker and any windlass found aboard | $1,200 $0$9k | 60%$720 weighted into totals | — | — | — | $300–$5k | Listing only states an anchor locker; Jeanneau spec says a bow fitting and manual chain windlass were standard. Coastal cruising requires the load path to handle deep anchorages, but chain/anchor purchases are catalogue items. |
| $0 | |||||||
No boat-specific safety-gear value credited or defect costed | $0 $0$1k | 0%$0 weighted into totals | — | — | — | fixed | Listing does not inventory dated safety gear except swim ladder and bilge pumps; generic safety equipment is catalogue-priced. |
| $1,170 | |||||||
Test, update and repair listed B&G/nav electronics as installed | $1,800 $0$11k | 65%$1,170 weighted into totals | — | — | — | $500–$6k | Listing states B&G plotter, depth, speed, wind, VHF and compass but no model years, charts, antennas, DSC/AIS, calibration or integration. Radar/AIS are catalogue items, not costed here. |
| $0 | |||||||
No boat-specific dodger/enclosure/canvas defect disclosed | $0 $0$1k | 0%$0 weighted into totals | — | — | — | fixed | Listing does not state dodger, bimini, cockpit enclosure or canvas condition. Coastal enclosure/heater upgrades are handled by catalogue if required. |
| $600 | |||||||
Hose-test hatches/ports and replace gaskets or rebed isolated leaks | $1,200 $0$9k | 50%$600 weighted into totals | — | — | — | $200–$5k | Listing states opening hatches and ports but no leak status; 20-30 year band makes gaskets, handles or rebedding likely but condition-led. |
| $0 | |||||||
No boat-specific dinghy or outboard defect disclosed | $0 $0$1k | 0%$0 weighted into totals | — | — | — | fixed | Listing does not include a tender or outboard. Generic tender/outboard requirements are catalogue items, not hull-specific refit. |
| $660 | |||||||
Functional coastal interior service: latches, handholds, water damage and berth usability | $1,200 $0$9k | 55%$660 weighted into totals | — | — | — | $300–$5k | Listing says a practical two-cabin interior and good storage, but the review notes limited weather-side sea berths and some areas to brace; no latch, sole, cushion, leak or mildew condition is provided. |
