Two adults in the forward berth is a little tight. We tried it once, and only once. We're both tall (5'10 and 6'2) and the starboard side has less length then the port side. The aft cabin is fine for us, and occasionally one or two dogs (which makes it a bit cozy)
I think all 30-2's have soggy rudders, our surveyor was not worried about it, and we drilled a hole 6" from the bottom of the rudder, and let it drain all winter. I repeated this year and didn't see any water on initial drilling, so it doesn't seem that the intrusion is too bad.
