Well we are back. This is what I saw or observed:
...
11. Bilge had some dark brown almost black water but he said the pumps worked.

I saw this a lot when I was looking. I suggest you bring a shop vac to your boat inspections and remove the water from the bilge so you can inspect it.

Why was this boat neglected for 3 years?

Where are you looking and where do you intend to sail?

In the Chesapeake, it is very much a buyer's market - you can't give away a used sailboat. Despite the news reports to the contrary, we are still in a down economy. There is no harm in taking your time. If anything, prices will drop further.
