very very poor is best comment , yachts they new... but ignorant when it came to gasoline engines ..used mirex fuel tanks ..known to have capacity sender to cause a hole to wear thru bottom of tank &serious gas fuel leaks sometimes onto water jacketed exhausts one new at the time redline 41 green hull exploded in hudson river being taken home by new owner ..total loss ...my 41 same problem mirex tank worn hole in bottom of tank ...fuel leaked onto exhaust pipe.....fume detector indicated fumes shut down engine...all 11 crew aboard at time got buckets & poured lake water in cockpit lockers ...to dilute gas....opened two thru hulls fwd allowing lake water to fill area fwd started pumps to pump overboard coast guard stood by once reported gas slick noted....in about 1 hour had all under control ...very close near fatal accident.....did not have c&c repair but rather went to a custom metal shop and had new tanks built....c&c to my knowledge never advised other owners ...so if you should have red or gray mirex fuel tank still, get rid of it &replace...one of the few things they were very poor at...other yacht mfgs used mirex quite late into 80s
