Buying Used

[gert]

A young friend of mine is considering buying this

He has minimal sailing experience and plans to live aboard.

Any opinions

There are better floating condos.
At minimum, your friend will want to spend a chunk of money on a full canvas enclosure for that cockpit.

bah, who am I kidding? I'm just jealous.

Looks good to me. Thick vee berth mattresses is good. Aft cabin very handy for gear storage unless it gets really overloaded. Would he be alone or does he intend to hijack a SO into the arrangement with him? Crucial consideration.

Get a good surveyor of course and ask for help developing a prioritized list of improvements.
