    So we looked at a 58 Sirena in Maine and from afar it looked great, but as we got closer the sun hit it just right. Broker said that's no big deal can be fixed easily and its common. Is it? What is this? A hit from a piling? Mistake in layup? Is it common and an easy fix? I noticed some boats have a waviness or print through on their hulls as well, like the Outer Reef Trident 62.

    We looked at two of these. One with only 250 hours or so. That one had the floors replaced and still had a stain on the master headboard (cloth) due to blowing rain hitting the salon doors that were closed just right. Why don't they make doors that don't leak was my question.

    Am I being too particular? I did see the thread on the Sierna 58. Thoughts?

    I just tried to edit and review these pictures, have no idea why they look over sized, you have to tap on your phone or click with your mouse to see them as intended. I guess I need advice with this as well...lol.

    This was interesting almost like a warping. It was hard and unmoving however. Windows were fixed.

    A few other things I would never do. I must be just way to particular according to the broker. Maybe he's right.

    Maybe he isn't particular enough. That being said, you may be looking for quality where it doesn't exist.
