Cored hulls seem fine so long as numbers of thru hulls are minimized and carefully sealed around with epoxy etc...
A careful survey should set your mind at ease or send you running. Worse than cored hulls however are encapsulated keels. These are much nastier to deal with if water gets inside. Thankfully I have never heard of any C&C using encapsulated keels.

Rob, Thanks for that link - I'll definitely take a look. We own a little trailer sailor at present (Potter 19), so this will be the first keelboat purchase for me. I've done a fair amount of sailing (passages from Portland to the San Juans) with friends on their boats, some sailing classes and a couple of cruises in the San Juans/Gulf Islands. We currently live in Oregon, but I'm in the process of retiring and we've purchased a house in Port Angeles, so if I do buy a boat, it will be based out of Port Angeles. I've been looking for something from 30' to 35' feet, so this is at the long end. I originally had been reluctant to consider these C&C boats because of the cored hulls, but I guess I'm somewhat getting over that phobia, although I'll definitely be getting it surveyed.

You didn't say if this was your first boat (I am betting it is not)......if you are, then the attached article and especially the part where it says to become a boat detective could be useful buying any boat. http://www.boatsafe.com/nauticalknowhow/buying.htm However, if you are only looking for specifics on C&C 35MKIII's, there are several owners on this list with considerable experience with the 35 MKIII. Keep the list informed on how you far out. And where do you sail from? Rob Abbott AZURA C&C 32 - 84 Halifax, N.S. On 2015-04-16 4:28 PM, David Castor via CnC-List wrote: Hello - first post here. I'm in the market for a boat and will be looking at two different 35 Mkiii tomorrow. One apparently has a tiller instead of a wheel. Does anyone know if this was an option on a new boat? I'm assuming it was probably a later conversion. I've already been advised on checking for leaks at hull/deck joint and portlights, as well as mast step area and deck delamination/core rot. If there are any other things to be looking for let me know. I'll definitely be getting a survey if it gets that far, but trying to screen out any major issues.
