I have just started shopping for a new boat. I am a keen club racer in Northeastern Ontario but my my wife likes to be comfortable when cruising. It is time to upgrade from the Tanzer 26 we are currently enjoying and a J30 looks to fit the bill nicely.

At this stage I am looking for advice on the pros and cons of used J30's (things to look for when buying) and any lines on good, well cared for boats in the Great lakes area. I have reviewed a few of the listings here but hope there are some more.
