Buying my First Sailboat!

[atexasex]

Hi. I'm brand new to the forum and looking at buying my first boat.We have done a couple of bareboat charters before in Greece and the BVI but never owned our own boat. The goal is to play with it and improve our sailing for about 6 months and then head to the USVI to live aboard.

This is the boat we are looking at. Any thoughts or advice by the experts here would be greatly appreciated. Already have a surveyor lined up. We are going aboard for the first time tomorrow.

Used 2001 Hunter Passage 420, Norfolk, Va - 23518 - BoatTrader.com#

Apparently it also has an air conditioner, 200W inverter and watermaker installed in addition to what's listed.

The wife wanted to buy one of the Moorings Benateaus coming out of their fleet but they seem to have too many cabins for what we need (wasted space) and look to be pretty stripped down (expensive to outfit).

Thanks!
