I have just purchased a 1975 Hunter 27, and it appears to be in pretty good shape. The yanmar 8hp diesel works, it has a main, 110% jib, and spinnaker. I onlly paid $2500, so I figured anything wrong with it that didnt sink it would be reparable with time and money. It has been in the water for 5 years, and before that was in a warehouse for about 10 years. The boat has minor cosmetic flaws that need to be corrected on the hull above the waterline.
The only thing that concerned me was the hull access area above the keel had abot 1-2 inches of water in it. I was wondering was that normal or an indicator of some underlying problem? When we pull the boat out of the water for transport, any advice on what I should look for or things other than bottom painting that should be done/
