Thanks for the reply Bill.
I assumed I would need to redo all the electrics so am prepared for that. What is it about the tri-hull that makes it more desirable? I'm usually drawn more towards "old school" so I would have thought the opposite. Does the "non tri-hull" version have something like the classic wine glass cross section, with the prop and rudder protected behind the keel, or is it something else?
Anyhow, the seller hasn't replied to my emails so it all may be moot, at least for this particular one.
Cheers,
Jim McMillan
