knots an hour is a measure of acceleration, not speed. You'll sound like a dingus among sailors since knots = nautical miles / hour
thus knots per hour = nautical miles/hour/hour
There are a lot of sailors in and around the gorge. Check some sailing forums for more local advice.
It may be cheaper, easier to just borrow a trailer and tow the boat to where you want it since it's only 32'
When buying a boat it is generally good to have a professional survey done. Common problem areas involve moisture soaked into various parts of the boat, keel damage due to past groundings and stuff, and poor condition of the rig, whether due to it being old and worn out or damaged by people doing dumb shit.
Definitely look at the rig and make sure it's in good condition because that is one thing that could put a novice sailor in a world of trouble.
Also the keel is important if it falls off you're fucked (search Oyster 825)
