Well, I have heard from the insurance company. I got an estimate for a
full repair of the bulkhead and mast collar and replacement of the rig
that is 1.5 times the agreed to hull value is so the insurance company
is writing us a check and walking away. They are not totaling the boat
and, right now, they are expecting us to dispose of the hull. They are
looking at salvage values for us. Torresen Marine has expressed a mild
interest in the engine (Universal M-25XPB with a whopping 132 hours).
We will remove the Andersen Self Tailing Winches, the Adler Barbour
Refrigeration System, the Raymarine ST60 instruments, the Autopilot and
the new Garhauer Mainsheet traveler. There are other smaller items that
we will grab (cleats, line stoppers) but that is the main list.
We are looking at a 1978 C&C 38 and a 1981 C&C32. Each has it's selling
points and each has it's own weaknesses. Please feel free to provide
advise on the selections. Our criteria has been: 35±3', fresh water,
C&C, a preference to Lake Michigan and within the payout from the
insurance company.
We have looked at closely at the 38'. We will look at the 32' in the
next couple of weeks.
We must have taken nearly 1/2 ton of ropes and loose gear off Corsair
already. I can't believe how much we have acquired in 21 years.
Anybody on the list interested in the engine or rest of the boat, please
let us know.
