There are lots of good choices, although the person favoring a Tartan 27 or a Pearson Triton wouldn't likely favor a more modern design of boat like a CS27 or a S2 or something similar. But any 30 year old boat will need upgrades at least, if not fixing of problems which is more likely. If you want to get a better idea of the work some of these plastic classics need go to these sites.

Or to get a good idea of why that Triton was $1225 on E-Bay and what it probably needed try this site.

Don't get me wrong - I like older boats and think that is the way to go but they do need work - sometimes a lot. It's the route I went and I have no regrets but went in with my eyes open.
