The C&C 40 on YachtWorld looks gorgeous. If I base it on my experience with mine and barring anything expensive like serious blister issues and delaminations or extensive standing rigging work I would say that another 10 - 15K or so would likely get you a ship shape boat ready for off-shore work.
How do I get there? - The autopilot's is probably original, ancient, and shot. A new one is likely to be in order, especially for off-shore work. - The electronics look old, wouldn't it be nice to have a chartplotter that's fully aware of the wind direction / speed / Hull speed / SOG (meaning it automatically corrects for currents and tides on its own) and can drive your autopilot to wind / preset waypoints? - Fridge is shot - Pressure water, could be a fair amount of plumbing here - Take the sails to a loft to make sure they're offshore ready - Fix the heater - Martec prop, is it a folder? If so I would not be surprised if it needs a 350.00-500.00 rebuild - Are the ports and hatches decent and water tight? - Halyards / sheets good ? (They get expensive pretty fast when you need them that big and long... ) - How recent are the lifelines? I spent a grand replacing mine.. - How recent are the batteries? - Bilge Pump / Carbon Monoxide / smoke detector(s) - Etc, Etc - The rest of the "minor" 25-35 items list at $35.00 - 500.00 bucks per.. -Francois Rivard 1990 C&C 34+ Take Five Lake Lanier
