23'1975 SEACRAFT

[HCLEONARD]

I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR A 23'SEACRAFT FOR 2 YEARS.I FOUND ONE THIS PAST WINTER.IT SEEMS TO BE IN GOOD SHAPE,MEANING THE TRANSOM IS SOLID AND FLOOR.NO SOFT SPOTS.THE ENGINE IS BLOW AND IT COMES WITH A TRAILER (MAKE NOT KNOWN).I HAVE TWO QUESTIONS,(1)I CAN GET IT FOR $3500.00 FOR EVERY THING
IS THAT A GOOD PRICE??(2)SOMEONE PAINTED THE HULL BLACK AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT KIND OF COATING THIS IS.DO I USE A STRIPPER TO GET IT OFF OR DO IS SAND IT?? INTERIOR IS DIRTY BUT A GOOD CLEANING SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THAT.I CAN USE ANY HELP I CAN GET.NEVER HAD A BOAT BEFORE. OH YEA, ONE MORE THING.HOW MUCH DO YOU FEEL IT WEIGHS WITH TRAILER I CAN TRAILER UP TO 5,000 LBS MAX. THANKS FOR YOUR IMPUT.CHUCK
