Hi all
I am new to sailing and shopping for my first boat for the past several months. today I checked out an E 27 1977 which was very clean with a new rebuilt deisel, fuel tank and heat exchanger. the boat is lacking an "evicerator" and I'm a bit concerned about the functionalithy of the ancohor chain and rode storage, as the entry hole is rather narrow. Interested to hear if adding the evicerator is an east/difficut/expensive project and also if hauling in and storing the ancohor (especially in chop) is toublesome or not. Also, have blisters been an issue with the E 27s? I do plan on having a survey before closing.
thanks
Joe
