I'm in the process of buying an 87'Cat-30. What are the areas which need the closest inspection or are there any common trouble spots with this model? Thanks

You're going to find this on just about any C30 you look at. When hauled out, there will (most likely) be a crack at the keel to hull joint. This is not usually structural and is almost impossible to "fix". It also goes without saying that you should hire a competent surveyor to make the final judgement call about the boat. Don't let the broker/yard insist on "their" surveyor, find your own cuz you're the one paying for it! They'll look for & find stuff you would never have thought of. Have fun! LaDonna
