Curtis,
I have a Contest 31, likely similar to what you are looking at. We have owned the boat for 20+ years and just did a pretty significant refresh. These are good, solid boats...I typically sail alone and I don't mind going out in some strong winds. She is mannerly and predictable with a skeg/rudder. Not the fastest girl in the world, but pretty and decent speed in anything but whispery winds.
No blisters on the hull which is pretty good for a boat built in '72. Interior room is not big and cockpit is not spacious, but sailing for 4 is fine.
Good luck,
Gerard
