Hi All,
I’m a new owner of a 1971 Ericson 29, in Long Beach, CA. Very little info on PO, and the boat seems to have been in the middle of a project when the Marina foreclosed on the boat for past due slip fees, resulting in a lien sale to me. I’m very happy with the price paid even if the engine is a wash, but I’m hopeful that I can clean up and refurb this A4 (cylinder head MIA) and get her running again. I have someone in the Marina taking a look at it next week; he has worked on a lot of A4’s around, and he’s also prob going to be selling me his services, so I want to get an honest opinion from the Afourians! Is my A4 worth saving or selling for parts? What is it worth, and/or how much am I looking at to get her running again if I do the work... understandably these three pics aren’t much to go on, but any guidance is valuable!
Thanks,
Rob
