Well there you have it! An offer has been made and accepted so barring bad results on a survey in the spring, we'll be the new owners of a C&C 30 MKII! Very excited about this step up from our venerable Alberg 30... does feels like a bit of a betrayal though :( But hey, roller furling, more modern rig, diesel, hot water, refrigeration, huge head what's not to like.
I suspect I will have a lot of questions and will seek input on this list often enough! Will try to contribute as well!

Specific to your three questions: (1) The usual suspects for a 30 year old boat - cored hull, rig condition, engine, keel joint, de-lamination and portlights. Have a good yard or a surveyor take a long hard look. I go against conventional wisdom and vote for a good yard over a survey. that’s just me. (2) Can’t help - its different for everyone. Don’t be shy about getting into a berth when boat shopping (3) I assume you mean the Bahamas. In terms of seaworthiness it will be fine, so yes. Cargo capacity will be the biggest issue but that will be true with any 30’ boat that can actually sail. The tankage issue always amazes me. My experience is that cruisers fall into 2 camps - those that spend 80% of their time in a marina and those that spend less than 10%. Neither group cares about capacity; one for obvious reasons, the second because they are more concerned with a plan to refill the tanks. Nobody actually drinks that stuff in the tanks (back to cargo). All of the above is FWIW, YMMV and hopefully worth at least what you paid for it. If you like the 30 I’d say go for it. It sails well and is well built. Enjoy, have fun and tell stories.

It is a nicely appointed sailboat in great shape for its age and no visible, walk away concerns. I was hoping for comments from anyone with experience and insights to offer, peeves, joys etc. that would be super appreciated. 3 quick questions though: 1) knowing the boat, what would be a definite concern that you would look at, stuff that has failed or gives grief? 2) The front berth dimension is difficult to assess but it is sufficient for a couple of average size, height? 3) Would you do a jump to the Caribbean from the ICW on such a boat? Such a nice cruiser/racer though! Thank you for any information you can share!
