Hey Sanders, David,
Dave, I have been following your quest, and found the opinions on all these 
classic plastics interesting. 
I've got to agree with Sanders, that in this category, you must consider the 
Bristol 27.  I looked at a few over the years, and have spoken to sailors who 
owned them, and they are by all accounts execellent boats for their size, and 
the price you can get them for these days.
another good one is the early 60's tartan 27.  You can find going concerns of 
both of these boats for 5-6 grand, and spend more for updated boats, less for 
ones that need more work, or course.  But, once you are spending more, then 
you might as well buy the Alberg 30, which is a better boat, in terms of 
better sailing, and more room below.
Do they sell Soundings in Texas? that is the one best place to look at used 
boats, and see what is available and what people are asking for them.
The 26 foot Arial is another good boat, but try as I have, I cannot get 
passed her big dog house, and straight sheer. Ugly. But they are extrememly 
well built, good sailors, and good accomodation for their size.
My opinion on the Pearson 30 or Grampian-good sailing boats, nice 
accomodations, the Pearson 30 I know is very sturdy, I don't know much about 
the structure of Grampians......but ......so ugly. Ugly, ugly, ugly.  If you 
want to really know how I feel, I'll tell you off the list.   (they are 
ugly!)    :)
Have fun looking,
make sure you are not boatless come spring!!!
Lee
