1. What conditions are the bulkheads, in particular where the chain plates are bolted in? I have looked at many C27s that had rot in that area. 2. Is there a visible crack where the lead bolts to the hull ( seen from the outside outside)? 3. What is the condition of the keel bolts, are they rusted or have they been upgraded to the stainless? 4. Have the spreader connections (where they attach to mast) been replaced with the upgrade kit to stainless? 5. Are there any soft spots anywhere on the deck? 6. What type engine and what size and what condition is it? 7. Is there any play in the rudder (can it be jiggled at the post)
