Hi I am going to change from motor to sail and have found a possible boat. She hasn't been lifted or anti fouled for approx 9 years and no anodes have been changed. She hasn't been on shore power. The owner tells me he has maintained the engine and uses her infrequently so is a bit tired inside. My question? Is the hull likely to be damaged by being left so long and what about the shaft, prop and seacocks? She is a good distance from my home and I would obviously get a survey before purchase. Is she worth the risk of a 500 mile round trip or will she need a ridiculous amount of work to get her seaworthy again?
All the best Dave
