The price looks fairly reasonable, but I would double check with NADA www.nada.com
One concern I would have is the lack of a trailer, unless the boat is located where you intend to sail it. Trailers I have looked at were $4000 if I drove to California and set the bunks myself.
Other than that I think the standards of boat purchase applies. Get on board check for obvious maintenence issues, rigging..etc. It would be good to have a look at the bottom and inspect the keel pin.
Good luck

Looks good in the pics, clean, I think Jason covered it pretty well as far as stepping on board, and check for maintenance issues . I'd want some interior pics at the least before I drove to look at her.
I'd add ask about blisters, last bottom job, any known issues,etc. I didn't see a mainsheet setup on the boom, guess they are using the vang to keep the boom from swinging in place while docked ?
Hefty sized outboard, that is a good plus.
Good Luck !
