hey, everyone.
this is my first time on the board. i have the opportunity of acquiring an ericson 32, year unknown, and am trying to
find out as much info on the boat as i can. the boat is at least 15 years old. unfortunately, it has been sitting in a boat yard here in new york state for that time with both the hatch and companionway slats removed, so the interior is completely shot, cushions, teak and all wood weather-rotted badly.
the boat has, i believe, 5 windows on either
side, a universal inboard motor (is that an atomic 4?), wheel steering, an oven and stove immediately to the left as you enter the main cabin, a sink with pressurized hot and cold water, a separate forward cabin in which an enclosed head is located -- this is all just a general
description of the boat for identification purposes. are there any sites with pics of this boat?
any way of obtaining brochures are literature of
any sort, including magazine review articles, on this boat, its sailing characteristics and history? any way of determining the year? anyone here have this boat? any input on approximate value of the boat? (the hull is in very good shape.)
just so that you know, i currently sail a "69 venture 21(made by macgregor), so the opportunity to get this boat, even in the poor condition that its in, is definately a once in a lifetime chance.
if it happens, my plan is to gut the interior as much as possible and -- for now -- worry only about rigging, sails, motor condition. since this is a boat which i could have for the rest of my life, i can work on the rest during the years to come...
thanks for any help which you may provide me.
