Default Adding bow roller and other thoughts

Ok,, there you are .. standing there, at a marina. A 30' cruising sailboat
is
right in front of you. She is in good shape, but very plain.

She does not have roller furling, bow roller with appropriate anchor,
... just a whole bunch of stuff.

But:: she is solid, clean, she has been surveyed recently and
there is no wet deck or hull .. the engine runs good ..

You say "how much" and the seller says "I want her gone" and
you say xxx and he says "she is yours"..

Remember;; this isn't happening just yet,, could happen in two weeks
though..

--

What would you attend to first.

She does not need paint or cosmetic fixings..

Bow roller? Then furling?
And if you do this? What do you do with the fore sail? Jib/genoa.. does
the sail
need all kinds of fixing?

Any other ideas?

What about rigging? Would you change if the survey said it was ok? Would
you add
anything special?

What about bimini, or dodger?

Just wondering .. is all ..
