I was onboard Inch by Inch yesterday with the captain. He was able to spend some time with me showing me some of the features of this boat in greater detail.
The owner of this boat is a perfectionist, even though he has a bigger Ferretti now, he makes sure that everything on the boat is working perfectly and looking good. Captain Don, who is doing a really excellent job of maintaining both Ferrettis, both tied up next to each other here in Fort Lauderdale, told me that he buys de-ionized water to wash the boats so there are no water spots. The table on the back deck is new because the old one was not perfect, the bimini top is new, a diver cleans the bottom every two weeks. This botttom paint was recently done after sanding and a new barrier coat. Because the paint is new, Captain Don has the diver wipe the bottom with an old T-shirt instead of a brush.
The engine room has carpeting of course, but unlike most engine room carpets, it is not scraps left over from another job, the edges of the carpets are all bound. I might not have picked blue though....
Captain Don also showed me an incredible maintanence log that shows crew members how to do the job. For example in the tender davit section, there are pictures showing where the grease fittings are located and how to do the work and how to get access. The pictures are not generic, they are of this boat.
With only a little over 400 hours on the engines, this boat looks like new, but the new boat kinks have been eliminated.
