You have no idea what a find this site has been. I purchased "Finally" last September. The PO sort of "forgot" to mention a few things, and I didn't do as much experimentation as I should have before I signed. Lust is an awful thing, I guess. The septic system is functional, at last, with a new y valve and hoses. The Atomic 4 runs well, and I've already found the fix for the transmission issue I had, here on the site.
So, she's a "strippy" with minimal amenities, and an endless source for work and cash expense if I choose to do so.
On the good side, the rigging is simplified, she sails like a dream, and I got her for a song.
She's tentatively scheduled for a haulout next spring, "no name" roller furled genoa, Mast mounted winch for main. Desperately needs a new sliding hatch, and admittedly a challenge for a single hander the way things are at the moment.
I got her ('74 e-27) for $6,000. She's kept in a slip in Cocoa.
Question: Please put yourself in my position. Safety and signalling has been updated. Horseshoe throwable PFD's were sun rotted and replaced, for example.
I have a list that goes from right here to way over there of things I'd like to do. My question, again, putting yourself in my place, what would you consider priority number 1, 2, 3, etc?
