I'm looking at a 2002 F18HT that has been out for a couple of years rigged and unused. It is in mint condition but the carbon chute snuffer pole is clearly losing its protective outer casing - since it is rigged it gets sunlight all day. No big deal, but I'm want to make sure of the mast. It looks fine, gets less sun than than the pole (its rigged so the profile is less), and the and the boat is in a semi-shaded area. What anyones the advice in this case?
