I like the P323

I have to agree with all comments above. We owned a C-30 for 3 years. It was a comfortable cruiser for the family, nice layout below, and easy engine access. The customer support is excellent. We have now owned a P323 for one season and I don't regret it. The P-323 is much heavier (I think 2600lbs more?). All fittings are of much better quality. The V-berth is more accomodating, and the head is more comfortable. If a broker tells you not to worry about the Catalina Smile, think twice. Have the surveyor make sure that the sump has already been rebuilt, or you are looking at a major repair (been there, done that). I believe that there have been recent discussions on this site regarding sump repairs.
