I bought a second boat to lend out to interested sailors, and I'm replacing some parts. It's a '79 hull. $850, probably overpaid but it's a fairly good shape. Mast step is still full of water after overnight, and there are not deck cracks. Looks like it has cubitainers, so no soggy foam blocks inside.
There was quite a bit of water in the hull. Mast step is fine. No drain plug, but it hasn't been sailed in a long time. Sitting upright with no cover. I'll change out all the deck fittings with new sealant.
The bailer bushing is likely original, and someone has gummed it up top and bottom with caulk and (I hope not) epoxy(?). I will carefully chip out the gunk and re-fit the new brass type.
The old one looks black - could it be plastic? Is there a hex shape on it I can get a wrench on? I don't want to just force it and break it out, do I?
Thanks in advance -
