Thanks for the response to my earlier post in search of an Ericson 27. Most helpful.
I have found a half a dozen, many of which will involve some overland trucking, which I think is just a price/value issue.
But I would like some advice from you, the more-informed-than-me members of this group about the following.
1. Two boats have been out of the water for 5 or 6 years years. I assume this is good, in terms of wear and tear. Do I assume correctly?
2. One of the boats has always been a freshwater boat. it would be long truck ride. Does the lack of previous exposure to saltwater (until, of course, I drop it into Nantucket Sound) justify the significant trouble and expense of going there, seeing it, surveying it, and giving it a long truck ride, given the boat prices are pretty much the same?
Thanks
Roger
