What kind of boat?

How old?

Do you have a survey?

You can get some good information here with some specifics and keeping your
BS detector turned up to maximum sensitivity.

Oh, give it a rest with the survey crap, why don't you? Why do you
recommend the abdication of personal responsibility with respect to
something he should easily be able to handle himself?

All it takes is to do a little reading and research. There is nothing on a
28-footer that an amateur cannot see and check for himself armed with some
basic knowledge and some small ability to think and analyze.

Professional surveys have their place but not on an older, basic 28-ft
sailboat. It's just not cost effective. The first step towards cruising
should be to know how to evaluate your purchase yourself. If you aren't up
to that simple task then stay ashore. You don't have what it takes.

Nonsense. (Re; The opinion that surveyors are not needed.)


Especially in the case of the aparent knowledge level of the OP (No slight
intended. We all started with zero knowledge and learned by asking.)

I used to do some surveying and have been professionally involved with boats
my whole adult life. I still utilize professional surveyors and will the
next time I need a survey.

Alot of the interior and such have been stored in side and is in very
good condition and most just needs a good cleaning.

Chrysler has not been in the outboard business since 1984. If you can
get it to start and run it may be OK for a while, otherwise it will
need to have the carburetor rebuilt at the very least. It might be
cheaper to look for a used outboard in good running condition.

Regarding the boat, virtually everything that moves will need to be
cleaned and lubricated. If you have a protected body of water nearby
try to get someone experienced to help you put things back together,
launch it, and check everything out. Get some day sailing
experience, working up to over nighters, before planning anything more
ambitious.
