The blisters would have showed up long ago, the later boats in 80's had more chance of them I was told the chemicals in the polyester resin were changed and ended up with air bubbles in the gelcoat, solid glass hull not much to go wrong there, the balsa in the deck is the weak point.

On the C&C 30 if the OP is still considering this boat, should check with local insurance co and they may require a recent survey to put a policy on the boat.

So at the club I was at, they had a large steel spreader frame to keep the slings wide when picking up the boats, without that there would be lots of squeezing at the deck, I doubt the crane co would have this, possibly uses really long slings?

If the topside's were painted that alone is close to $8k job.
