Aloha All,
I've always thought they were interesting boats but never knew anyone who owned one. I know they're fast and wet. Wish I was a bit closer.

Wish you were closer too. Thanks for your comments all the same. This boat is a blast to sail. Wish I could afford the slip fees for two boats,but one has to go, and I don't want to sell my heavier cruiser.

Had her out the past two weekends, all good. Needs a good cleaning, but even that is minimal.

What work would need to be done to finish the boat?

I have never reinstalled the ice box, or the galley sink and counter top. These items are all here, just haven't needed them as I day sail her only. Aside from that, a fresh coat of paint on the cabin top and cockpit. No major issues, just day to day maintenance...fresh varnish, a couple of lines need replacing. Maybe two weekends worth of work.
