I have a 1981 C&C 36, bought it about 6 years ago and I am very happy with the boat. It is a bit tender, but in part that is because I have a 155% genoa. In looking at the pictures in the ad, it looks like the boat has not been that well cared for. I would suggest carefully looking at the rod rigging, I spent about $4000 redoing mine. Other things I note- my boat has a keel stepped mast, whereas I see a compression post on this boat. The mattress in the quarter berth is not the right fit, looks like something happened to the cushions
The price is pretty good, but if there is alot of work to be done, it could add up quickly. If the basics are good (engine, rigging, deck) and the issues are just cosmetic, then it is probably a good deal. One thing I wish I had done when I bought my boat was getting a rigging survey. It would have pointed out rigging issues that the regular survey did not find, and I could have negotiated a better price.
