Considering purchasing a Mariner 19 that is described as being in great condition ( painted and cleaned yearly) however, it’s moored. I’m setting up a time to go see it but I assume the mast will be up so I may not get a look at all the rigging up top and im not sure how I’d inspect the hull for blisters / centerboard for flaking / damage.
Any way to get a feel for these things while it’s in the water or should I ask the owner to have the marina pull it out for the visit?
Tangentially, anything else I should explicitly be looking out for in an early 1970s version?
Thanks in advance!
