1982 Ron Holland designed 36 ft Ericson sailboat. I've run out of steam after 22 years of owning this sailboat. I've done all of the hard work if someone is looking to go on a sailing adventure...
1) Peeled and re-fiber glassed the hull using West System and vacuum bagged it using 2 layers of biaxial glass.
2) Faired the entire hull with epoxy fairing compound and finish with 2 layers of epoxy barrier coat. (was told by a professional boat painter that it was one of the finest jobs he had ever seen).
3) Rebuilt rudder with additional steel in the internal frame and new foam core.
4) Installed Jefa rudder bearings (top and bottom) with new rudder tube and additional re-enforcement using fiberglass 1/2 inch board and west system.
5) Repowered with a Yanmar GM30F low hour engine (~200 hour).
6) All new thru hulls and sea cocks with 1/2 inch fiber glass backing plates (bolted).
7) All woodwork has been rebuilt in the interior that needed it including new 3/4 inch teak and holly plywood floor with hatches to most of the bilge.
8) Installed Vacuum insulated ice box lid and stainless-steel countertop.
9) Installed Victron Inverter/Charger.
11) Fiber glassed in wood backing and fitted all main cabin and Vee berth wood ceiling base panels.
12) Replaced the acrylic hatch glass with polycarbonate.
13) Replaced acrylic port glass with safety glass.
14) Installed new holding tank and waste lines.
15) Had hull painted with Awl Grip.
16) Installed custom 2 inch teak rub rails.
17) Had new foam cushions made for interior (main cabin, vee berth, and quarter berth).
18) Custom stern railing with built in seats (still have originals).
19) Built a custom fuel filter sliding holder so they can easily be changed.
20) Custom access door for sink cabinet.

I'm sure there is stuff I'm forgetting. I was outfitting this boat to go off on an extended sailing adventure. I have a ton of stuff I'll throw in with it. Currently the mast is off the boat and needs to be painted. There is still stuff that needs finishing. The boat is near Huntsville Alabama. I know even in pristine condition that this boat will not sell for anything close to its replacement cost. Make me an offer after seeing the boat.

For someone that wants to truly go on a sailing adventure or doesn't want to have to do all this to another boat, this boat has had all of the hard stuff done.

Thanks,
Robert
