Erik,
Not sure where you're located but it must be the only boat in town. Unless the trailer is brand new, the guy is asking more than he'll get in this market.

Cuddy looks pretty clean and mostly dry and floors look straight. Teak in cabin is weathered. That suggests water seeps in between the seam at the hull and gunwale cap. This is common and an easy weekend repair. But more importantly, a negotiating point. Scuppers probably leak, too. Again, common, and an easy fix. You need to get a closer look in daylight. Don't worry, it will still be there Saturday. Splashwell is a nice feature. They cost about $450 or so nowadays. Check for soft floors. Especially around the seat mounts - the starboard ain't there because he didn't have shorter screws... Scuppers look funky. Over-sized or do they have a plug in pics?

Take your time and give it a run if you haven't already...great little boat - nimble yet stout. Unfortunately not a huge demand right now. Feel free to politely work him... Golly, I hope he's not a regular on this site...

Good luck
