I have a '72 O'Day 22 that is also in good shape. Only real issue I've had is some leaking between the hull and the lead shape. Think it was caused by having some water in the bilge tht froze during outside winter (Northen Michigan Winter!!!) storage.
There is a small drip from the forward starboard window but nothing tooo major. Think I'll undo the screws and re-seal it next spring.
I believe this boat has been modified to move the sink out of the main salon and into what was once a hanging locker across from the head.
I have added roller furling, a combination red/white dome light, a detachable swim ladder to the stern, a Moor knotmeter, an AM/FM/Disc player, a bilge pump with a thru-hull high on the Port quarter. There is also a Heathkit depth sounder mounted forward und the V-Berth that is visible from the helm.
Would like to add a dodger this winter and a swing-out bracket to hold the GPS inside the cabin and visible from the helm.
They are great little boats and have truly only heard a few comments about watching the chain plates. Sounds like a few folks have have some issues with that area...
Would be curious to know what you are going to pay for the '72 you are looking at.....

A thousand bucks is a very good deal if the boat is in decent condition. Most of these are listed for 2,500 to 4,500. I wouldn't go less than $3,500 for mine.
With no water damage (wet core, leaky chainplates) and usable sails and standing rigging 1k is a good price. Over 3k is a bit high for anything except excellent (refurbished) condition in the current market. My guess is 1500 would be average, 2500 for good - again in the current market.
Do your boats have the small "galley" sink in the main cabin? Mine has been modified (I think) so the sink is now forward of the starboard bulkhead, across from the porta-potty. The boat was 30 years old when I got it, so who knows how much has been changed!
Thanks for the picture! Best one I have seen of this cabinetry.
Where your sink unit is, I have an aft facing bench that provides seating at a drop down dinette table. The table makes up part ot the Port side bunk in the down position like a larger boat layout.
I'd send you a photo but I just put the boat into inside witer storge yesterday afternoon.......
