Hunter 29.5 Panama City, FL
Looking at a 29.5. I have a few questions regarding the boat.
What are the trouble spots to look for on this boat?
The ports and windshield leak. Can this be fixed DIY? Whats the best source for new plexiglass?
The water has caused damage to the veneer like interior wood and padded sidewall in the V berth. Is this DIY fixable?
There is some surface corrosion on the stays. What will a complete set of standing rigging replacement cost me? (worst case scenario) Who sells it?
What things are a "must inspect" before purchasing this boat?

I was able to order a new big window through this site, SBO. The padded side wall on my boat wipes clean with vinel cleaner. I can't speak to the wood veneer. I have owned my boat for 10 years and have had no problems beyond normal maintenance. Replacing the rigging will be expensive. Ask around the other sailboats in the area for a name of a rigger.
