The Volvo MD11C engine and Saildrive is under the fore part of the cockpit, a large lifting hatch in the cockpit sole giving very good access. For major work the steering pedestal and aft section of the sole can also be removed. Most Moody 30s were wheel-steered, though tiller steering was available as a cheaper option from the factory.

Broker's Comments
Introduced in 1975, and remaining in production for four years, with about 150 built, the Moody 30 has the same distinctive high-volume hull style, with very flared bows, of all the Angus Primrose designed Moodys from 27 ft up to 40 ft.
The Moody 30 offers good performance and excellent accommodation for up to six, and makes an economical small family cruiser.
This is a very nice example which is economically priced and ready to sail this season after a little TLC.
