Hello everyone,
I'm about to buy my first sailboat. A Beneteau First 305 (1988). Before I go there to see the boat, I want to ask you guys some questions as I'm new to sailboats.
- The bottom looks okay. Needs some cosmetics, but not that bad. So as you can see the photo I uploaded, In the keel area, there is something like a crack. Do you think it is a crack or only the paint ? if it is cracked, is it something that can be easily fixed?
-In the second photo, the propeller looks very dusty. Do you thing I can sail her like that, or should I replace the propeller immediately? I know I will eventually have to do that, but can it wait?
- And she needs new headliners in some areas. Is it something easy to replace/fix?
Thank you very much!
