[quote=javata]Thanks for the good comments and things to do. I was able to go to take a closer and better look today. If there is a away for me to upload pics let me know and I will, a pic is worth 1000 words.
To make a long story short. There are some soft spots and some crunching posts on both hulls. The standing rigging looked OK at best and I did not see any rust. The only place i saw some rust was where the chain plates are on the hull. As well there is some gel coat that is missing, small chips. I supposed this can be one of the water ingress points into the hull. Both hulls looked and felt like they had some rash at the very bottom where the dagger boards would come out of. The running rigging is completely gone ($250ish USD) and some of the eyelids for the trampoline are in rough shape ($400 :-( ). The HIN is CCMH6482M82I, correct me if I'm wrong, this is a 1982 boat. I remember reading that 80's boats had some problems.
I's starting to think that if its not a "free" boat or the cost of the paperwork for the registration this might not be worth it ... since nothing is really free! With my limited knowledge I can see there is going to have to be some decent work to be done on the hulls. I have some friends that can help and teach me but then its a matter of making the time to fix the boat.
Keep the comments and suggestions coming!
Again thanks for your time and help!
