I am under contract on my 1968 Hatteras.
A lender has questioned whether there is asbestos in the boat. Never heard of such of a thing.
Anybody???

Asbestos on Hatteras?

Re: Asbestos on Hatteras?
That is an automatic question on older boats. The answer is always NO...
If you have original heat wraps on your original blanket covered exhaust risers, the answer is always NO.
If your purchase surveyor ask if you even think it may be original asbestos wraps on the exhaust, the answer is always NO.
If the bank, surveyor or insurance company gets a hint, even if not, the boat will need to be totaled.
The answer to any asbestos question is; surveyed well, NO asbestos.Last edited by Captain Ralph; 07-11-2020 at 10:27 PM.

OTOH
The seller pisses you, your surveyor or your broker off.
Coffee was cold or wrong brand of donuts,,
Answer yes to all questions regarding asbestos if you did not purchase the boat......
You will hear the splatter from the fan, from miles away... when the insurance renewal (cancellation) comes up to the seller.

The only thing I have ever heard of was the original linoleum flooring if it even still has that. Could already be covered or removed.

A few pieces at a time in the garbage. Took me 6 months to get rid of a large floor.
