Thanks XR

This person is not a racer... he has never raced and is looking at for a
large coastal cruiser. I believe it was an older vintage 34T... but I'm not
positive about the designation. The photos show well and the price is
right... but I thought I had heard about deck problems and wanted to
confirm that as well as general information. The only Ericson I've been on
was a 27 footer.. again not positive of the actual size.. could be a 28...
in the Bahamas, Exuma Cays. I wasn't impressed with the Ericson, but then
again..... we were chartering a 38 Cabo Rico at the time out of Eleuthra.
Now that's a really nice boat!
