Good advice from Andy. Probably no hour meter on the motor. When looking at the cost of replacing running rigging, remember it is probably twice the cost of replacing the rigging on your boat. Also, 7 foot draft could be a challenge in the Bahamas. If they bothered to buy Kevlar sails they must have been racing. Check them for delamination. I'd guess a new main and jib would be 6-10k. Used spinnakers are easy to find.
