Silly me. The Coast Guard documentation indicates a draft of 5'7" but
the previous owner (who sold the boat to me for $1.00)


That's an excellent start.
For now, I'd go with the quick methods suggested by Lew and Cavelamb.
You can rig a home A/C unit to cool the interior while you do needed
work to make the boat ship shape for sailing.
Hot down there,
From what you've said, I get the idea that you're new to it.
I may be wrong there.
That you had it towed to your dock rather than motored over - why?
Anyway, no sense spending much money until you know you'll keep the
boat.
Main thing is don't get zapped, and have the necessary grounding.

Looks like a nice clean boat, and certainly worth every dollar of what
you paid for it.

I think you ended up getting the right advice regarding shorepower: A
heavy guage, multi-outlet extension cable that is not a permanent part
of the boat. It will minimize your issues and expense, and it will do
the job when you need it.

Thanks To All / Cherubini Raider 33 - Need Shore Power Advice
 
Many thanks to all who responded to my shore power question. The
discussion was very informative and useful to me.

I have recently acquired a 1985 Cherubini Raider 33 which is not
fitted for shore power. I need guidance on the best choice of shore
power inlet types to install.

I would also appreciate any information about the boat itself. It was
built in Florida in 1985 - original name was MUSIC which was later
changed to KOKOMO. It appears to be a tall rig model, but I have no
specs. Nor do I know the draft. Any info or referrals would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks,
Ancona
