You could try asking this question on the Endevour forum. I'm sure you'd get lots of replies:

Steve, if you're looking at a pocket cruiser of that size, make sure you have a look over a Top Hat as well. Similar era, an extra foot longer and good solid boat for anything you would want to throw at it. Both the Endeavors and the Top Hats have a very distinguished history of global circumnavigations, Trans Tasman Solos and Australian circumnavigations, as well as good solo boats for club handicap racing and family cruising. Good luck with the hunt.

Steve,
I owned a Mark 2 few a couple of years. At the time they were very common, local club had about 6 starters so it was an easy choice. Mine had a Volvo outboard in a well. Probably the worst outboard I have ever owned. The yacht was a little cramped and the balanced rudder a bit of a pain. It did not have a "groove" and sailing up wind was always a bit of a problem. They are very cheap to buy and I would be inclined to go Tophat/Folkboat/Adams 26 etc for just a bit extra. The Endeavour 26 is a much better boat I have heard but not sailed.
