Hello,

I found an R22 for sale that has been sitting in a saltwater slip in New York, unmaintained, for at least 8 years, although pictures show a clean interior and brand new sails in the bag. The seller says he will pay for a new bottom paint job. I'm having it inspected before buying, and anticipate a bunch of stuff will need to be replaced which leads me to my questions:

Is it easy or difficult to source parts? Are there any resources I should be aware of, both for purchasing parts and also for help troubleshooting installation issues?

Thanks very much,
John
