Prairie Schooner
Jeff & Donna, E35-3 purchased 7/21
Hi Solo,. . . shift cable . . . deck sponge . . . "Portlights and hatches are all original and leak which rotted out teak veneer inside, mast boot/collar leaks, Barient ST winches are chunky from lack of use/maintenance, running rigging is shot, standing rigging is original and needs replacing, lifelines need replacing, cushions are original and need replacing. Only electronics are original mid 80s VHF and a GPS circa 2000 or so, so that needs updating as well. I'd also like a dodger, which the boat doesn't have."
Based on our experience dealing with similar conditions on an '86 E35-3, your estimate to deal with the issues is probably shy $5K-$10K. We are doing much of the work ourselves. Good luck finding the best boat for you!!
