So I've gotten some more knowledgable opinions about my 1971 C22 and consensus seems to be that the most pressing issues are replacing the outboard motor and replacing the standing rigging, specifically the two most lateral shrouds.
As far as the motor, I think that just boils down to writing a (sadly sizable) check. The motor that is currently attached to the boat looks like it was hauled up from the depths. I may get a mechanic to look at it, but I doubt it is salvageable.
But the rigging. Seems like that is something I may be able to replace on my own. I've looked through the tech guide but so far I haven't found any great explanation about how to go about it.
Any thread on here that anyone could point me to? Presumably the mast needs to be lowered for this. Is this a job readily undertaken (and accomplished) by a total amateur?
Thanks!
