If it's what you are looking for, at a price you like, and it's in good shape, you should be happy with it. |

There is a lot of stuff available about Ericsons. Here's one from the top of the search list: http://www.yachtcouncil.com/yacht-bu...ERICSON+YACHTS And you never mentioned the size Ericson you're looking at, jl. Next time be more specific for asking vague questions begets vague or inappropriate answers. Wilbur Hubbard |

Ericsons like Pearsons are good simple older boats. Well made - some like the 34 have a cult following. All are fine in the Alberg / Cape Dory / Pearson class of boats but the Ericsons are a bit racier / faster than the straight cruisers. Value utterly depends, today, on equipment and condition. You can find them from highly desirable to wrecks. Figure about $50k asking for a really nice 34. |

You's got a problem with dat? Janet the non boat owner who will become a boat owner and then post more pathetic messages.. Janet from my perspective i would think you an idot if you didnt keep looking for the boat that fits you. to me its like crushes, lust and a lifetime commitment. IMO you crush on a couple boats that simply are never going to be what you need. some folks get to lusting and have a short stormy relationship with the occasional boat that cannot be made to fit. Finally you come to a place where you find a boat thats strengths and flaws compliment your own and it all works more or less perfectly. the first two catagories are those you see when a person is buying one boat after another never keeping them for more than a couple years. the last is when you see that person who has had the same boat for 40 years and is still in love with her. |

Most the ones Ive seen/sat on/sailed including the ones in the 30-36 range would make exellent lake/bay boats or off shore day sailors out a few miles in Beaufort Sea State 6. Bob |

Bob Ericsons seem to be more prone to soft (wet) decks than average. Any boat can develop soft spots, but Ericsons just seem to have a special ability in that regard. |
