An outboard motor Tohatsu 6 hp was serviced. The rigging is in good condition, there’s a jib furler with UV protection.
The hull looks good. The owner recommends making the new antifouling for the underwater part of the hull (it’s a regular procedure).
There are some works to do here, eg., it’s worth cleaning up inside, tightening some fittings, besides, the on-board electric system should be extended and the 12V and 220V harnessing should be fixed. I think in this situation this is an advantage because you can make it in your image.
Obviously some works were made but the owner was lack of the time to finish it and has to sell the sailboat now.
This is a good project for the one who wants to make the sailboat for himself, herewith the budget is rather modest. Some investments, tightenings by your own – and you’ll have a good updated sailboat at a cheap price.
