Ed, thanks for the info on what to look for while inspecting the P-323. I believe they replaced the previous Yanmar with a new one a few years ago due to that seawater intrusion during the winter months (they keep the boat in the water year round). Good points about engine plumbing, prop shaft and rudder play. I went on an informal sea trial yesterday in the NY Harbor. We had a chance to fly the spinnaker--that took a bit to rig, but once up was great fun. Owner's daughter pointed out 3 areas of slight weeping (the two aft fixed port lights and one port V-birth port light). The helm seat, if you want to call it that, was pretty uncomfortable at any decent heel. Other than that, which I can get creative to remedy, it was a great, comfortable sail. I'm excited to join the P-323 family. First things first: finalize deal with owner and then get a survey. Thanks again. Dave G
