The two couples I've known who sailed MC30s loved them. Fun to sail,
ICW friendly, sea kindly for coastal conditions, and well able to handle the coastal GOM region where
wind and seas are traditionally kinder than
offshore in the Gulf. Dual outboards are VERY maneuverable, but lacking in
battery recharging ability. If you "don't need much cruising comfort," I think an MC30 will beat your expectations. They're really well thought out.
