180. Some of these questions are your boat specific, such as equipment on board sails, ect ect. The only thing I found funny was the motor type. I don't think a typical Ob on a sailboat is 70 hp :P Should have got extra points

Came up with 127 as a bare minimum assuming that someone won't leave the dock without an outboard, and all required safety equipment with factory sails no furler with 0 xp points.

145 here. I chose medium experience. I won't be thoroughly familiar with the boat for years.
Lost a few points due to below average construction...for offshore work. No good vhf radio.
No 2nd reef point.
