4200/5200, but Daniel probably doesn't know either. If the boat has been out of water for a long time, that's a lot of time (probably) polysulphide has been seeing 80-90F temps instead of much cooler water temps. "Your Mileage May Vary" goes back to at least 1991 Usenet and still seems to hold. Up to Daniel to decide what he's concerned about and what he isn't, but there's wisdom in dealing with things while you're on the hard that you are concerned about instead of suddenly deciding later that you should have, and this is a fairly easy thing. It's definitely true that most things are probably fine. I've jumped on and sailed with new sailors who just bought a boat, and had no idea what shape she was in. Usually the brand new skipper is a much larger liability than the boat, no matter how gnarled the boat. So, tl;dr, this is an opportunity to deal that now if you might later decide you should have done it now. I definitely often take solace in the thought that "well, she's survived this long, this is probably ok", especially when waves are breaking over the deck and the rigging is whistling.
