My introduction to boating was on a powerboat 40-odd years ago. I thought sailing sounded like fun, so I soon bought the first of several sailboats. I recently realized that most of my time lately has been spent under power with no sails up, so I decided it was time to get back to my roots.
That said, I'm looking for advice on an '85 34-foot Express Cruiser I'll be inspecting in a week or so. Info on weaknesses, gotchas, dry rot in stringers or transom, corrosion-prone tanks, or whatever would be welcome. Engines are low-hour Merc 7.4s; any concerns there?
Thanks in advance for your help!
