Randy, looks like a nice boat with a lot of good gear on it. The problems that you list, as others have stated, can be fixed. A consideration is how much money it's going to cost (as you pointed out). Look at other Catalina 30 MKIIs to get a fair price for a boat that is in better shape, then add in the cost of the repairs to this boat. If you are paying too much at your offer price, ask for the price to be reduced, or the repairs to be made, or a combination of these two. There are lots of boats for sale out there, so don't be afraid to walk away and wait for a better one. Another point is to get a mechanic to look at the engine. Surveyors often will look at the engine, but not with the same attention. Engines can be expensive. This may be the right boat for you (I love Catalina 30s) but now is the time to be thorough. Best of luck to ya.
