Odd. The seller sounds like a boat restorer who lost interest in this one.

I appreciate his including the Lightning (class boat) certificate in the photos. Sorta shows where his mind is at the moment.

Restoring a lightning is a big job --everything is wood including spars, complicated floorboards, deck makes access awkward-- but apparently not as big as he faced with this 31.

Listed as model 31C (presumably 'Cutter') - but photos show a regular 31 Independence (not a cutter rig).
Very well equipped for cruising though - would probably be a satisfying project for someone.

C is for Cruising, that's good enough for me.

I think the name was changed from Cruising to Independence during the production run. Believe I've seen some Independences that have a Liberty Bell on the sheer stripe where other Ericsons have Viking horns.

EDIT: some of them were rigged as cutters:
