You all drifted off a couple pieces to this puzzle: 1. The OP is new to sailing and boat ownership 2. The bigger boat in question is a *$16,000* 42 foot boat.
The C&C 30 is a GREAT boat to learn to sail AND to learn to be a boat owner. The scale of the repairs, if needed, both in cost and physical size/weight is doable. A bargain basement 40+ foot boat is going to need expensive upgrades and repairs that are hard to appreciate for a new-to-boating person. This is kind of like when one of my flight students realized that while $100,00 would get him a great 4 seat airplane in nearly new condition, it would also get an old DC-3. He had no idea that the latter airplane would be costing him $100,000 every year, not just the year he bought it.
