Greetings,
I sail a 1971 Ericson 29 on the Great South Bay of Long Island.
Ericsons are very well built boats. I have owned mine for 19 years.
As a 49 year old boat it is a wonderful boat to sail. Stable, fast, and well put together.
Along the way I have repowered, as the old atomic 4 was rusting on the insides. Put in a Yanmar which is amazing.
I also re-bedded all the deck fittings and port lights to make her leak free. (I on and off project done on bad sailing days).
I would buy another ericson in a heart beat.
Rick
