Well made it back. Boat was a solid 8 out of 10. My wife did like the size and room below, on deck and cockpit. Not a project boat for sure.
Good
Sails are new Precision, just under $10k (receipt) last year and nice clean shape
All inside cushions are recovered sunbrella with vinyl back. Very professional job and sharp looking.
Wiring harness looks like it was replaced, found info from first owner about it and saw no evidence in engine and the cockpit.
Engine panel was all working with a voltmeter. Showed just over 300 hours.
Current owner bought in 2015 from original owner.
Solar panel setup is pretty sweet and professional install. 2 new house batteries and new separate starting battery.
Bad
Water leak at starboard side bottom of heat exchanger, pretty good flow at seam. Not sure if there is a rebuild kit for this and it looks lime this is the original heat exchanger
The stuffing box looks new but flings water while running, broker, who sells nee Beneteau and runs a repair yard, isn't sure this is correct and recommends it be looked at.
Mast seems to be aft in the hole in the cabin, not centered. Standing rigging looked fine and all of the turnbuckles were pretty centered, so not over tighten or loose.
Water in bilge, given heat exchanger and stuffing box leaks not surprised.
Owner drilled hole in cabin for cable tv connection and it was leaking.
So wife liked it, I liked it, but wish the issues in the engine and shaft weren't so obvious.
