No specific experience with the CS brand but my understanding is that
they are as well constructed as C&C's. A club member wanted a larger
port in the head of his new CS 36...I saw the piece of 'deck' he cut
out.....now that was impressive.
I'll bite......is a C&C 30 a prettier looking boat than the CS 30,
yep. Is a C&C 36 a prettier looking boat than a CS 36, nope!

Haven't seen many posts about what C&C owners here on this list can
say about the CS brand...there has been considerable discussion on
this list about appearance (on the ,ooring for example) and how much
that means to C&C owners...how does the CS 30 rate in that regard with
those willing to say and does anyone have any comments about overall
quality of construction of CS boats that may be beneficial news for buyers

Mark: if you have a reasonably good feeling about the boat, make
the giant plunge. The price is reasonable and, no matter what boat
you buy, you will be putting some money in to make it your boat.
Decision time, Sir! And you're the one who has to make it!

the mast step looked good - but near the back (last set of double
keel bolts) there were a few fine cracks in the stringers.
> I'm guessing the impact pushed back and up on the keel. I forgot
to take a picture - but at the top of the stringer the crack was
maybe 1-2mm, the crack line was just across the top of the
stringer (right where the cross stinger met the longitudinal
brace), didn't extend down the stringer far - 1-4 cm. I'd say
about 3 on either side.
