Hello all, need some advice please.
There's a 35-2 for sale that I'll be looking at this week. The boat seems to be
a "base" model without many options; no teak holly sole, no hot pressure water
(does have "cold water system"), no genoa tracks.
So my questions are:
1) Can anyone give a ballpark idea of how much it would cost to have hot
pressure water added (by a yard shop, since I don't have the knowledge/tools
etc to tackle such a job)? Is resale value of this boat diminished much by not
having hot pressure water/shower?
Is the resale value and desirability of this model increased very much by
adding the hot pressure water/shower feature?
2) Is there any indication on the deck or inside the liner of the proper
factory mounting location for genoa tracks, which I would add? I've seen a boat
of a different brand that doesn't have the tracks, but you can see the
"pre-molded" location in the deck, and there are access panels in the cabin to
reach the mounting bolts from underneath without having to cut holes in the
liner. Does the C&C 35-2 have any similar indicators of the genoa track
location?
A week or so ago some folks were commenting on the value of this forum and the
contributions of the members, especially as it relates to the enhanced value
and desirability of C&Cs. As a prospective C&C owner, I can affirm that
sentiment wholeheartedly. I've been on the hunt for my first "full sized"
sailboat for a couple of years, and subscribing to this forum has greatly
contributed to my sailboat education, and to the process of figuring out what
would be the "right boat" for me. Of the makes of boats that I've considered,
imo the C&C forum is by far the most active and educational source to help a
prospective owner navigate the variables of sailboat buying. This forum offers
great reassurance to a newcomer like myself that there is knowledgeable advice
available when issues inevitably come up related to ownership and maintenance.
Thanks again to everyone for their advice and assistance.
