I am likewise considering purchase of a 1988 F30. Not too much to go
on. The boat is not cheep, but in very good condition and an original
owner boat. A broker sent me a list of F30s that have sold, howerver
nothing past 2000. Current asking price is about where they were
selling 5-7 years ago. I want the boat. What is your take?

to draw any comparison? We don’t sail in thin water and I’ve always
preferred to avoid the compromise of shoal draft models.
I’m also curious about how the galley sink drains. On this
particular boat the galley drain is led all the way to thru-hull
under the port settee. Isn’t there a thruhull closer to the
waterline? Seems weird to put a sink near centerline where it
belongs but not have the sink drain to a thru hull closer to the
centerline.
I’m more of a ketch person but this cat sloop was kind of
intriguing
especially for at the price I could probably pick it up.

I bought an F30 last March. A number of F30’s have sold since 2000. Brokers have access to a service called soldboats.com, which is run by YachtWorld, which claims to show the original asking price, the actual sale price, and when the sale occurred (I say “claims” only because I don’t know how to verify the statistics). A look at soldboats.com should give you a pretty good idea of how the asking price stacks up.
