I have an accepted offer on a 1980 C30, subject to inspection. What should I look at particularly? I have had 3 C27s, a C22, a C38, and several other boats, so I know the general stuff. Are the keel bolts iron or stainless in a 1980? Is the "Catalina Smile" common on C30s like it is on C27s? Particular locations for soft deck spots? Are the spreader brackets a concern like C27s? The boat has wheel steering and a five year old Universal 3 cyl diesel. Anything to look for there? Thanks in advance. Fred in BC

If you're not going to have it professionally surveyed (or, even if you are) get a copy of Don Casey's book: Inspecting the Aging Sailboat. Lots of helpful information there.
