BoatBanter.com - The Express 30

I'll use the 35s5 or J30 as a loose basis for comparison.

Express 30 Upside
Fast boat, fun to sail
Cheap to buy and operate
Reasonably good construction

Express 30 Downside
One of the least attractive 30 footers around
Worst looking aft section ever
Awful cheap interior
Mickey Mouse wheel
failed hull gets little respect on market
Head is actually in sleeping quarters
Dated beyond words
