I had a 1977 C&C 27 MK III for 15 years on Lake Michigan. The nice thing about
the MK III was that it had a taller rig than the one you'relooking at, which
made her a great light air performer, generally hitting hull speed of 6.4 in
about 9 kts pf wind, and which would commonly sustain 7 knots. I would be less
optimistic about the MK II, and I sold mine for 8K in 2015, albeit to a friend
in very good condition. It was in very good shape but also did not have roller
furling. Given the work you're talking about, she ought to be $2,500 or even
less.
Now having a bigger boat and the affordability of older boats, I too would
recommend looking at a bigger one, or at least holding out for one in much
better condition.
Just my $.02 worth,
