I don't have any association with the seller, just would like to see this boat not die. This boat should be considered a total refit project.
Here is additional info from the seller that I got via email.

1981 Ericson 36 Ron Holland “Off Budget”
Hull # 5 (of 32 built) Formerly named “Outlaw” Ericson’s factory race boat.
Hull ID# ERY36XX5M81C
The boat has been more or less unused for the last 10 years. The previous owner kept her in a slip on the Bay and enjoyed her for many years, but was relocated to another state for work. He left with the idea that he would return to VA and resume sailing the boat. He did not. That is where most of the maintenance issues with the boat started.
I will try to give you a very basic idea of the condition of the boat, but please note these are my own observations only. I would consider this boat a project only and feel the asking price reflects this. I am selling “as-is” “where-is” and would encourage prospective buyers to have it surveyed at their own expense before purchase.
Interior:
Several rainwater leaks over the years have resulted in water damage to the teak interior. There is one delaminated spot on the sole near the mast step. There are several areas of delamination on the cabinet tops and nav station. The headliner has been removed and is not with the boat. I believe once the deck fittings and ports are removed and re-bedded, the teak wood could be restored to it’s original condition. I have the original cushions for the boat, some of which are in serviceable condition considering their age.
Exterior:
All running rigging will need replacement. The standing rigging is original stainless steel rod. The mast and boom are painted black and could use repainting. No maintenance has been performed in at least a decade, so all ports and hardware need to be re-bedded, seals replaced, etc. The hull is heavily oxidized. The bottom was epoxy barrier coated several years ago.
Engine:
Universal 5424 diesel. Winterized and has not been started in 4 years. Fuel tank still has quite a bit of fuel in it from that time. Exterior of engine does show some corrosion. I have verified that the engine will turn over and has compression. I believe there are two batteries with the boat, but both are long dead.
Hurth HBW-10 transmission
Electronics:
VHF radio
Signet 2000 depth, knot meter, wind speed indicator. All original to the boat as far as I know. Weathered and in unknown condition.
Navtec hydraulic backstay and boom vang. Unknown condition.
Sails included:
Dacron main
130 Genoa
180 Genoa
Mylar drifter
Mainsail cover
All sails are of unknown age. All have been stored properly folded and separately in climate controlled storage and appear to be in serviceable condition.
The boat will be sold with a bill of sale. I have the original Maryland title, which is unsigned, and the bill of sale from a broker to the previous owner. He intended to have the boat documented with the Coast Guard, but the process was never completed. It will be the buyer’s responsibility to complete this however he chooses.
The boat is currently on the hard in a very good full service boatyard in Deltaville, VA. Storage runs $125/month. I reside about 70 miles from the yard so I don’t get down there often, but will work with you however I can to answer questions, take specific photos, meet contractors, etc. I would love to see this vessel returned to her former glory.
