am new to this forum, my wife and I have been sailing together for a year or so on a starter boat I purchased off a friend of mine to test out my liking for sailing. Needless to say, she has me hooked and we have been searching for a bigger boat that my family can enjoy.
we have been on a smaller chyrsler C26 fixed keel for the last year, but after looking at a number of different boats and not liking what we have found ( mostly water intrusion, rotted sections of core and soft spots through out decks ) we are now looking at a Beneteau First 375 that a friend of mine has introduced me to the current owner about.
the 375 has been out of the water for the last two years apporix ( tags are for 2018 ) and I was wondering besides the common headliner issue ( which it does has ) are there any other major concerns I should be looking to identify on prior to having a surveyor come out and check out the boat.
the pricing is extremely fair for the condition that I have seen, so thought best to reach out and try to get some information from others that have owned Beneteau's
Thanks in advance
