Hi all,
We have found buying our first boat a bit more difficult than first thought. But we think this is Ok, as we hope we are learning from the experience. The deal with a 1974 Catalina27 has almost completely fell thru, they have left it as a project with too many things left to finish and the price of 5k is just too much.
We are now focussing on a 1975 Pearson26 that is complete, equipped and running great. This one has an OMC saildrive inboard gas engine which was installed 2 yrs. after the original purchase by the manufacturer.
The only obvious flaw is some spidering on the deck surface, which I'm hoping is really a cosmetic thing only?
What are your comments on the 75 Pearson26 and are there manuals available?
Look forward to your comments.
Thanks,
Ron
