Hey JJone20. That boat sounds like a project. Not well kept. There weren't many positives in your report. A boat of that type would like a nice fitting cover over the cockpit while stored.
I agree with the comment there are boats you sail, and boats you work on. Well you have to work on all of them. Some let you get some sailing fun also.
I think I would keep looking. Don't think that one is going anywhere. Maybe a little time shopping will save you a lot of time working on the boat.
Have you checked Craig's list? Stop in at sailing /yacht clubs for boats for sail.
Its kind of like buying a P-car. some want a car that is ready to go, others love the challenge/satisfaction of doing a rebuild.
The process of shopping can help you sort out what you want, then find it.
Happy hunting
Richard
