Hi Everyone, I am going to make an offer on a 1982 34' Californian. Cosmetics inside and out are great. It has aluminum windows all round which are in perfect shape (no signs of leaks) 2 central A/C units, limited electronics. 2 radios (one doesn't work) 2 GPS depth finder chart plotters, but again one doesn't work. For some reason they wouldn't fire up the engines or gen set till sea trial. The fuel tanks are aluminum. I have read quite a bit about people having to replace fuel tanks, but I thought that was mostly black iron tanks.
The asking price is $54,900. I know it's difficult to say without seeing the boat, but any insight on what I should be looking out for problem wise, and what might be a fair offer. I would welcome any advice from Californian owners. Thanks.
