New member here looking for any insight about the 1971 E 41. I am currently talking with the owners son who is selling on his dads behalf. The boat needs some TLC but most issues seem like normal wear for the age. The Yanmar engine works but the Walter V drive may have a cracked case. Any thoughts on systems to take a closer look at for this boat would be appreciated. My boating history is many years as deck crew for around the buoy local Puget Sound races and a few Swiftsure starts, crab fishing in AK and being a liveaboard for nearly twenty years. My first floating home was a 38' Kettenburg followed by a 1943 Chris Craft cabin cruiser. My boat purchasing experience is somewhat limited. I am not afraid of turning a wrench, and knowing what is and is not in my skill set.
Thank you for sharing your wisdom and experience,
