Found a nice looking S30 for sale in my area (chesapeake bay). A 1984, for $14k. Looks reasonably clean. Any thoughts on this model? Sailing characteristics? Esp for light wind.. "livability" for coastal crusing? Anything to look for if I go check it out?
thanks

@tciavola welcome to SBO forum. You indicated an interest in a Hunter 40. A Seafarer 30 would be a very different boat.

have you thought about what you want a boat to do for you? Or are you just chasing costs.

A cheap boat that does not fit your needs ends up being an expensive adventure that you throw money at, never finding satisfaction.
