David, qwned my Arial for  9 years, and I loved it.  Her only drawback was 
not having a separate head.  I installed a Sea Fairer (Thetford) with the 
metal hold down brackets.   You can most propably buy used sails for about $ 
1000. (headsail and main)  until you get used to sailing her.  I had a 155% 
genny made be Kent, a local sailmaker, abd loved it.  I also had a working 
jib, which I rarely used.  A used 6 hp Johnson will power her.  and long 
shaft is the best, at about 6 K.  If you can clean up the interior with fresh 
paint and  Scrubbing,   it sounds like a good deal.  The bulkheads and  much 
io the interior is covered in a teak looking formica.  You might need new 
bunk cushions.  You can buy foam and cut it with an electric knife. and how 
good can you sew, to do the covers.  There is a place for a slide out stove.  
I hade some gimbals and used a 2 burner alchoal stove  we used to cook omlets 
while doing long races  Ther is a company in Annopolis, Bacon that has lots 
of used  sails.  You would love the way this boat sails.  She weights 5500 
pounds and has 2500 pounds of lead in her keel.  Much stiffer than the A-30.  
Make that $500 offer, and even go a little higher, if you must.  I dont think 
you will regreat it
Let me know what happens.
