Depends on what you want it for. It's a Wm
Crealock design though, so it's basically a good
boat. Personally I don't like extreme raked bows,
it makes the boat smaller than it's LOA (or longer
for a given sailing length & capacity) so you're
paying extra dockage. Looks ragged out.

BTW while I agree about surveying a $3500 boat,
before ruling out a survey I'd at least find out
what one costs. It could actually save you money
and if you need for insurance anyway....

BTW #2 are you tempted to go back and revisit that
Ericson 29? If a month goes by and no offers, the
owner/seller may think pretty hard about letting
you have it for a low enough price to make it
interesting.

Are we going dumpster diving? Here's a list of
potential rescue boats, not including any Lancers
or Bayliners:

Here's a Pearson 30, believed by some to be *The
Best Boat Ever Built*
but this one is overpriced, there are others on
the market at $6K

I've seen this boat and it's in pretty good shape.
There's a sistership for sale in NJ for $5500
