For what it's worth, I joined the ranks of proud Tiara owners today. Took the plunge and bought the boat---my first real boat. Had a 15' runabout 30 years ago but nothing since so this is a little intimidating. I don't know how long it will take to get the hang of it---the electronics as well as the handling---guess there's only one way to find out.
Mechanically and cosmetically (for the most part) it's in really good condition. Those gas tanks I was concerned about were beefy tanks well mounted high and dry. Not an issue. A little bit of the exterior teak needs some attention, the stainless sink is rusty (?) and the headliner and a fuzzy band around the v berth has specks of a black mold (?) that needs cleaning.
Would anyone be aware of a link that has a list of all the cleaning and polishing chemicals suitable for the interior surfaces? I'm so psyched!
