As far as C&Cs go , I think the 70s and early 80s boats were very robust for the most part. I would think the possibly suspect ones were those built in the late 80s/early 90s when they were going through financial difficulties. I know of one 87 C&C 30 that had some serious bulkhead issues, and looked at an 82 34 that seemed excessively flexible at the hull/deck joint but other than those, to my knowledge most owners are very positive about their boats, and there are many 30+ years old and still going strong.
The resale value of well-kept C&Cs is always a cut above the other "generic" brands routinely on the block, so that's a down-the-road advantage as well.
