1965 Alberg 35

Since I began learning about sailboats, Albergs have been a name that pops up a lot for traditional off-shore cruisers. This is a 1965 Alberg 35 for only $17,900. It is close and near where I grew up on the St. Johns River.

They talk about these boats here: cruisersforum.com. Some people say good things, some say bad; but mostly along party lines of those who don't like traditional cruisers and those that do. Normal problems with older fiberglass boats that a survey would have to sniff out. Living space is a bit narrow; but that helps off-shore. I'd have to check it out and with it being close, I might go give it a look soon. The ad is short:
