And the reason you want a hole large enough to stick you hand in a holding tank
is?

A "hand hole" is an inspection hole with a cover large enough to get a hand

My holding tank is plastic but the hand hole came loose and was a considerable
pain in the ass to fix. The forward water tank in mine is aluminum and the
fuel tank is aluminum. The back stay attachments are a place for detailed
inspection. You'll probably find that the steering cable idlers plate,
directly under the pedestal, is probably badly rusted. It should be one of the
first safety repairs. The engine mounts may be soft and in need of replacement
too. Josh MuckleyS/V Sea Hawk1989 C&C 37+Solomons, MD

Hi Mark, Wow! We have a lot in common. Last year I sold my 35 Mk II
(Expresso) and bought my 37/40+. I loved Expresso, but the 37+ is better in
almost every way. The performance difference is breathtaking. The boat I
bought was in pretty bad shape and I spent almost a year refitting her. We
renamed her "Kaylarah" after my grand daughters Kayla and Sarah. The side
windows are chronic problems on these boats, but almost all of them have that
problem, so you will probably have to deal with that. If you are, at all
handy, they are not that hard to fix. I can give you a lot of advice in that
area. The holding tank is made out of aluminum, and the tank was installed
before the interior was installed. Repairing/replacing the tank is a big deal.
Of course, you should watch out for the usual punky cored deck. Otherwise she
is a good boat with minimal problems. Text me if you need specific advice.
There are a lot of 37/40+ owners on this forum and they have a lot of helpful
knowledge. Good luck, Gary S/V Kaylarah '90 C&C 37+ East Greenwich, RI, USA

I am looking at a 1993 C&C 37/40+ CB model as our next boat. My first big boat
was a 1974 C&C 27 which I had to 12 years, then upgraded to a 1975 C&C 35 MKII
in 1992. After 25 years (come February) on the best boat ever built, I'm
looking to upgrade to something a little more cruising, but with C&C
performance. Given that requirement, it seems reasonable that I should stick
with C&C.
I've read through the all the email lists concerning the C&C 37+ and most
everything looks positive. The boat I'm looking at is listed in Marco Island
and immediately needs hatches and windows. I looked at it over the Thanksgiving
holidays, and other that those issues, it seems quite basic; doesn't appear to
have been raced hard (i.e. no spin hardware & Dacron sails) and not much in
cruising upgrades (i.e. needs windless, davits, etc.). Could be a good platform
to start with.
For you C&C 37/40+ owners out there, is there any thing I should pay close
attention to other than engine condition & standing rigging condition that
could bite me.
Thanks,
Mark Baldridge
