Hi Ian. The price seems good for a Kittredge built boat. It's the cheapest
route to being a sub owner I've seen. Repairs could be minimal if it was stored
inside, which it probably was.
You could upgrade the motors to Minnkotas for $250 each, put in some
new AGM's for $240 each, and replacing any of the plumbing systems with
off-the-shelf stainless parts should be fairly inexpensive and simple.
The Plexi dome and view ports will cost a bit, but the work is again fairly
simple.
Transport from CT. to CA. is pretty high but if you had someone near
by where you could park/store it for a while, I'm sure a search on Ebay or
Craigslist would get you a deal due to the easy towability of the
boat.
Any pickup going that way could haul it, and you may only need pay the fuel
cost.
If I didn't already have a boat, I'd go for it.
Hell, you could be diving San Francisco Bay and Monterey by SPRING
!!!!!
