Looking for opinions of the O'Day 31 / 30.

Hello, We are considering purchasing a 1985 O'Day 31.
Would love to have other O'Day owners opinions of these yachts.
My family used to own an O'Day 34 in the 1990's & it was a good boat.
Have the chance to buy one at a very good price. Cheers.

I love my 1985 31. Had it for about 12 years now and it really suits my small family well. I've had no major problems.

Thanks mate. We bought the boat yesterday, that was donated to a charity. She has been sitting in the slip for a while,
& needs a haul out & bottom job & new shaft seal, but all the major systems seem to work fine.

We think highly of the O'day 31...we had some really tough sails in the 31, esp. on afternoon as a storm front was moving in and it performed really well. also has a good layout...to my knowledge our frends have not had any issues with her...Pat
