Bob, you may have some extras to add. In two years of storage, vermin can get aboard and chew up sails and wiring. Or, water can intrude and damage wood and wiring. If the engine was not "pickled" properly, the rings may have rusted up and frozen to the cylinder bores. And anything unsecure on deck may have flagged and chafed in the wind.
So, you still need to go over the boat from bow to stern, wiht a surveyor, an engine mechanic, and a rigger to check the rigging. On a 1983 boat if you have the original standing rigging, the wire needs to be replaced no matter how good it looks. If you can run a cloth up the rigging and it catches--even once--on a meathook, that means the rigging is shot, but the recent trend is to replace it every 20 years or sooner, no matter how well maintained and lightly used it is.
Similarly the sails may need replacement, that can set you back a fast $4-5000 on that boat. You can get some fast online quotes from many lofts for "stock" sails of varying qualities, figure sails need to be replaced every 5 years as a one-size-fits-none number, if they are regularly used.
You'll also probably need new batteries after two years of storage, even if the old ones were kept on some kind of charger. This is a good time to check over the entire electrical system (you'll find plenty of threads on that) and buy the new batteries with a system overhaul in mind, if what is there doesn't meet your needs.
Boats always find a way to surprise you.
