302
I have been shopping for used boats in puget sound for a while now, and the 302 is a good boat if you can find one. You can get one for the same price as a Cataline 30 and the O'day is a smarter boat and will likely be in better condition with better features.If you find a 302 in good condition for less than 25k, grab it. There aren't many out there, and if you are looking for a good cruiser with nice features, you can't go wrong.The keel bolt issue is not as dire as one or two owners would have you believe. Just check the damn things once in a while. If you are really concerned, beef them up with a steel backing. Cheap and easy. Any yard can do it.Check the deck for damage. The gelcoat isn't very tough. Voids are common, so learn to patch fiberglass.
