Default Advice on buying first Cruiser

We are not new to boating by any means but we are newbies when it
comes to cruisers.
We are not looking to buy for about 3 years, I am currently doing my
homework.
We are interested in a 30' to 34' Hardtop.
Our budget will allow for a late 1980's or older.
I like the layout of the old Trojans and Catalina's.
When do we start looking for a slip seriously.
Do we get on a waiting list before we buy a boat?
Don't really want to buy a boat then not be able to use it.
I do plan on a USCG or Power Squadron Course before buying.
