FYI only--I received this message on Facebook from a sailor who is not a member of the forum:
@ Point Roberts, WA.
went to see the interior of the auction boat today; the marina cut the locks. clean (untidy, but "clean") inside; batteries look newish, but dead (revived when put on a charger); 3 inches of water in the bilge, otherwise seems dry inside and doesn't smell at all. sails look good. binnacle looks good. wheel turns and rudder turns. looks like a solid boat; ericsons are well built. this one looks vintage late 70s. interior wood is good; exterior is ok, but needs refinishing. engine looks 50/50. Generally, the boat looks solid, but needs an overhaul. as for the engine, who knows what it would do when cranked...could be a good investment project to sail and/or flip, given a few months and elbow grease. the logistics really don't work for me right now.the marina is taking sealed bids (min. $3K) until 3pm Saturday [3.14.20].
