Looks like a helluva boat for <$50k. The ER looks a little scary with rats nest wiring, shelving w/o fiddles or means to secure stuff. The trouble with what I could see is that it will be a nightmare to trace the wiring and then properly bundle and secure it. You might find a plethora of butt connectors and other lash ups to extend wiring. You might also find unprotected circuits, non-marine wiring. I would advise that you go to the ER and simply sit down and take a long look around, then examine some of the wiring, find out if it is circuit protected and if proper wiring was used. Also look at the plumbing, check the hoses by squeezing them, check the breeze clamps. While you are rooting around in the ER, check the sea cocks.
My impression that she has great bones, looks like it will live well, the 3208 is a great engine, but the ER and associated wiring, draped hoses, wires, etc, give me a little pause.

I love the boat! It's got an unpretentious work boat look that I find very appealing. However, the 50's diner look on the interior is just wrong.
