Hello,
I just sold my 1971 Ericson 29. I owned her for 12 years and have really enjoyed sailing her around SF bay but she was starting to cost too much in upkeep and I've been looking around for a newer, slightly more comfortable boat from the 80's.
I'm looking at an 1983 Ericson 30+ this weekend and wanted to find out if there were any strong opinions on here about this model and year. Good or bad.
She appears to be in good shape. What I'm looking for is if there are any known weaknesses or structural problems to look for.
My old boat had an Atomic 4 this one has a Universal diesel. My diesel engine experience is very limited. My A4 experience is extremely unlimited (unfortunately).
As for price...she's newly listed at $25K. There have been 2 or 3 E 30+'s in SF that sat at that price, eventually selling for a lot less I'd imagine. Any ideas on a realistic price range for this boat in good working order?
Thank in advance!
