300k is cheap for a 58, they are typically in the 400's when in good condition.

I've been on multiples of all flavors of LRC, including two of the rare 65. The 58 is the best all around LRC, the 42 is my favorite but not an oceanic passage maker. At least one 58 has circumnavigated. For our personal purposes, which did not entail ocean crossings, we liked the layout of the 56MY was much better, again for US.
We had Hatts on both sides of us under the covered shed at Worton last year. One was a 53 (visible in my avatar), which was being lovingly restored but may have left by now for South Carolina. The other, I believe, was a 58 that needed cosmetic attention (at a minimum).
