The 29OL you posted looks fairly clean. But since the trailer doesn't match the boat, the boat may have previously been stored in the water, double check for moisture in the transom and stringers.

29's were wood stringer boats
30's were fiberglass liner boats, still have wood in areas though
Either way how well the boat was taken care of is important, also early 30's had liner problems, but by 2008 they had been fixed, subtle changes to the tooling to eliminate hard corners,

One nice thing in the 30's is the enclosed head, vs. the 29 the porta-potty is up in the V Birth. Might also want to consider a 302 if you can find one and want more livability (but heavier and slower).

Thank you for the replies.

I have had a Formula 271 502/B3 for may years and it has served me well.

My criteria for upgrading...

Enclosed head.
Forward anchor locker.
Walk thru windshield
Silent Choice
A bit more space in the cockpit and cabin.
More modern style.
Towable with my existing 10k rated GMC 1500

The boat will be a trailer boat and towed to 4 different lake or ocean areas.
A 30ft boat is all I would want to handle at launches by myself, which is usually the case.

I like the 30 ft Baja and it has an enclosed head. They are also fairly plentiful which gives me a few choices.
I will look into the hull liner issue and get a survey if need be,

The 302 looks like a good option as well.
