As the 1996 Nacra 5.5 National Champion crew, I am a bit biased - I loved the boat and miss the class. It was a well-balanced evolution of the 5.2 and could be driven very hard for its size and volume.

Check the sterns - they require periodic refinishing. Otherwise, all the typical used boat shopping stuff applies. If it is solid, you'll be happy with the purchase. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
