The sofa, Aaron? That's the only thing you could do without? :D The curtains look like bed sheets I bought ca. 1971.

the curtains are just too painful to look at nancy. and yes, they too would go. but the sofa, well, that's just bloody awful. as for the lack of swim platform, i've a tri cabin w/ out one in the original 1972 print adverts, but, i have never seen a late model tri cabin w/ out one. i doubt that the attachable ladders (see gunnel latches) are that stable.

It never ceases to amaze me how filthy boats are when people take pictures that are intended to try to help sell the boat. This one isn't all that bad, but if you can't straighten-up before taking a picture, how likely are you to have re-bedded the hardware before it could work loose and allow water into the deck core?

Among the favorite things that I saw when I was boat shopping was an oil filter that had "2009" written on it. This was in in 2012. It did not match the engine hours either. No mention of anything about the mechanicals gives me the shivers.
