Thanks for all your excellent inputs. I have the clearest picture now. Bar sailing her.
According to owner the engine didn't fail or breakdown, it simply ran out of fuel.
The engine used is apparently as sturdy as.
I am not sure if chaffing on mast is of consequence. It may well be one of hundreds of such layers and simply needs patching.
The wishbone is of no use to me, so doesn't matter.
The dodger, being aluminum is easily cut off and the material welded into a different configuration.
A hard dodger is a bonus.
I am good welding steel, I never welded ally, its a lot cleaner to work with.
Over all I think she looks good, and I cant see any real reason not to buy.
She ticks most of my boxes, two masts, steel/ally, lifting keel (ideal) roomy.
I would like a timber deck, but maybe i can laminate one on.
Hot metal, v wood.
Unless a survey tells me otherwise.
As for anodes, she is in a quiet bay with no stray currents. not in a marina. the broker assured me no possible problems there. I had a good hour long chat, Paul the Pom, seems like honest bloke with integrity, wasn't pushing boat or in a hurry to sell etc,
He Also offered to look after me if I cam to visit, I didn't tell him I have a soup kitchen budget with the demands of a sultan!
