After a two year search, I finally pulled the trigger on a 94 C30. The seller/PO has been incredibly open, honest and has answered virtually every question I can think of. I looked at others but this one just felt right. The price was also too good to pass up even with some maintenance issues that were discovered during inspection. It will be bitter sweet seeing my O'Day go but I cant wait to get this one in the water next season!
I joined the club. NEW BOAT!
