Any time you deal with RB you need a reality check. J30's have gone "upscale" in the last
few years. We can only speculate on the reasons.


It does boggle the mind, doesn't it?


Here's some pics of a J30 from the same era as the Express.

The Express sure looks good compared to the early J30's!

Well, the Express has slightly less elbow room but IMHO a much more practical & comfortable
cabin for cruising.

Actually, if I were seriously shopping for a 30 foot racer/cruiser I would pick the CS-30 (and
in fact almost bought one, before we settled on the tugboat). Its a bit slower but has an
excellent layout above & below decks, strongly built, and is IMHO better looking overall.
