As to the draft, the C&C 37 Brochure lists it at 6' 7" (or 6' 8") but there
was a Keel / Centreboard version that would draw less than that.

As for the cored hull and deck, get a good surveyor, one who knows what he
is doing around cored hulls.

The vast majority of cored C&C hulls and decks have little to no issues.
But a few out there are nightmares, usually due to improperly done
penetrations for thru-hulls or deck fittings or penetrations from the
interior, down in the bilges into the cores that were done improperly.

The surveyor should at the minimum have a moisture meter, and know how to
use it and should also go over the hull and deck with a plastic hammer to
sound it out.  I paid a surveyor to do just that first before we spent the
extra money of a full survey back when we were buying.  The cores were dry.
