Hello all,
I've been looking at boats for sale and reading about different makers for quite some time. I've narrowed my search down, and have my eyes on an E29 in Connecticut.
Here is a link to the ad: http://www.boattrader.com/listing/1979-Ericson-29-102592490
The owner is selling to fund another boat that he purchased. I spent a half hour on the phone with him asking him questions regarding the boat. He has owned it for 16 years and hauls the boat out to stay on the hard every winter. He works as a mechanic, so I can hopefully assume the boat/engine are in as decent shape as he tells me.
He told me that there is a soft spot about 12"x12" on the deck that is going to need some attention in the future and that one of the windows has a leak that needs to be fixed. The price on the add is $6,900 but he said he would take $5,000. That seems like a reasonable deal. I plan on having it hauled out this
weekend when I drive up to see the boat. I'm undecided on weather to spend the money for a survey.
Here is a video of the cabin: https://vimeo.com/142336438
Here are a few photos, the engine looks slightly concerning. He also sent me a video on the cabin, everything appears to be very clean.
