430 Classico Pilothouse MK1

Im looking at one and its not stabilized. That concerns me but the owner is telling with the hull design on this vessel it is not necessary. Is anyone familiar with this hull ? does this require stabilization?Click image for larger version

An OA 430? How do you plan to use the boat? If you're thinking of a recent thread that generated a ton of comments on whether stabilizers are necessary, I'd caution the original post asked about passagemaking. For weekend or trips to the Bahamas etc, stabilizers would be nice but not necessary. That said, you would not be sorry you spent extra $25k-$30k on a boat with stabilizers (new install would be well north of $50k, perhaps $70k by the time everything is installed).
