The boat is well-maintained and in good shape for it's age. The jib is stiff and ready for use but the main is due to be replaced. The engine and transmission were replaced in 2016. Currently have 78 hours on Universal 23HP.
Barb fittings for seacocks need replacing. The raw water discharge hoses need replacing. The hull appears solid with as expected scratches and slight blemishes.
The head works but is no longer attached to direct discharge so that would need to be dealt with in order to use it. It is been set up for heat with a chimney installed but has never been used by owner.
