Gulfstar 43

We are looking at a 1979 Gulfstar 43 MKII to sail to the Carribean. We'd like to know the pros and cons of this boat. Does anybody have one of these boats?

Re: Gulfstar 43

I delivered a Gulfstar 41 across the Atlantic. The boat itself seemed to be very solidly built,the owner had not done any maintinence in 25 years. The boat didn't point worth a damn unless the engine was assisting (then it sailed very well). I wouldn't own one !
