I wonder why that "classic plastic" Maia is as cheap as it is if it's been that extensively redone. Like most 40 footers of that type, it probably has the interior volume of a Catalina 30 at best, but that doesn't mean it wouldn't make an excellent daysailer you could keep on a mooring to avoid dock length costs. It could be the fairly obvious use of massive water ballasting or the Atomic 4 (sure hope it's FWC!), but I've seen far worse "character" boats. This looks on deck like an Alberg 30 crossed with an eight metre with glassed over coamings.
Apparently, the owner was originally asking $90K for Maia. Something isn't adding up there.
