picked this up for $800. I've already gutted it and started repairs. Anyone familiar with these boats? Any issues to look for other than normal rot and wear and tear?

Nice find....

For the headliner, I'd recommend looking at outdoor carpet tiles.

One wry observation: at that price, you got a real good deal on a trailer and they threw in a free boat!

Scrape off the remnants of the old head liner and go sailing. Is there a useable outboard motor on a bracket for an auxiliary? If you do not sail at night, you can get by without the mess-of-wires DC system for a while.
Hope you get in some sailing time! Sunny here now and hope it's nice where you sail.

it came with a running 9.9 yamaha on a bracket. I am resealing windows and deck harhware before I put it on the water.

Good point... skipping the deep cycle battery/wiring/charging situation would decrease the headache factor by several levels....you could stash these in a box just in case you got caught out after dark....
