It may just be the picture, but that looks like the 46 or 44. In any case be very sure to have it surveyed, and pay special attention to the mechanicals, hoses and belts, etc. That 300 hours in 10 years (30 hours a year) throws up red flags for me. For one thing nothing is getting lubricated. This isn't even one of those styles that would be condusive to hanging out on at a marina. You also should check her history. Could she have gone down at any point? If all that pans out though good luck. She looks like a beauty. P.S. It'd be a good idea to hire an experienced captain or mechanic to come along on the sea trial.
