Upper rudder bearing had failed and nearly destroyed the trim piece. I think the upper thrust washer was taken out at some point and let the rudder drop, shearing off the upper bearing's shoulder. I'm sure the cockpit sole is probably soaked and rotting. I'll worry about that later also. Got to get it sailing first.
Really nice companionway doors, but they all need to be reassembled. The boards all separated from warpage and sun damage. It looks like he assembled them with regular wood glue. We're going to use epoxy this time. Brand new canvas sail covers and jib bags also came with the boat.

Interior was super dry and all brand new cushions.
Thoughtless PO used a holesaw to make a place to run an anchor line. Would have been great if he finished it (right of bow cleat). I can't wait to see how saturated the deck core is. I'll worry about that later.
As it was when purchased
