New member and first time poster. Considering a purchase of a Contessa JJ Taylor 26 1984. It is in above average condition but it stepped deck mast appears to have been reset and worked on. The liner under the step in the cabin shows some deformation. Also appears to be a repair/ding around one of mast steps near the deck. Owner is clueless to causes. Asking price is about 15000. Is this step problem a deal breaker?
