    Opinions from the Group please

    I have always in the past owned Fiberglass boats. I am contemplating
    a long term cruise with a new vessel preferably of steel (new to me
    that is). As some of the boats that I am looking at are out of the
    country (USA) I am a little wary of the process. May I ask your
    opinions on what to look for. Is sounding necessary?.What does
    sounding cost?. Is repair on an Origami (frameless) as easy to repair
    in out of the way places as the framed boat design. How is metal
    condition under sprayed foam evaluated?. Am I correct in assuming
    that the compass in my binoculars will no longer act appropiately?.
    Hand bearing compass same problem?. I am sure I have many more areas
    of concern but maybe your answers will cover them.

    Thanks
    Gerad
