Rags mentioned the fuel tank. Definately look into the fuel tank on any endeavour. Mine is brand new. The old one developed pinhole leaks in the top and let stray water into the fuel. This is not an easy task to complete. I've read of costs from $10,000 to $30,000. Mine lasted 20+ years. the new one is a better intall so I expect 30 years from this one.
Most of the salt water endeavours have had the tank replaced by now. If not, they are over due. Most of the fresh water ones have not been replaced yet but will also need it soon.

I passed on a ketch rig because there is more stuff to maintain...more rigging, more lines and more sails. They look pretty tho
