If I wanted a diesel engine, it would be cheaper for me to just buy this boat than to pay a yard to put an engine in my boat.

And more 35-2 decision avoidance... Where is this MK1 located? The only MK1 I've seen near me is asking $32K CAD with an A4.

If that boat is as big of a mess like she seems like, I would offer 10 and see what happens.

And more 35-2 decision avoidance... Shawn — am I correct in recalling you’re talking Canadian dollars? If so, $21500 CAD is around $16000 USD at today’s exchange rate. That’s a pretty low amount for a decent shape 35-foot C&C, even given its quirks. — Fred Fred Street -- Minneapolis S/V Oceanis (1979 C&C Landfall 38) -- on the hard in Bayfield, WI :^( On Apr 29, 2019, at 9:54 AM, Shawn Wright via CnC-List <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: I'm glad to see such great dialog on this topic, and appreciate all the varied responses. Someone on the C&C FB group posted a video from a race in Ladysmith on Saturday, with only 3 boats braving the 25-40kn winds. I was sitting on the 35-2 at the dock that day and felt her shudder under the gusts. In the video I noticed how well the C&C 29 (mk2 I think) handled the conditions, cutting cleanly through the waves, while another boat, in the 32-35' range, with longer overhangs, was bobbing and hobby-horsing in the small chop. Of course, the C&C easily outsailed the larger boat, and looking far more comfortable doing it. My wife and I spent some time on the boat last night with plan to make a final decision - we made a list of pros/cons for the boat, but still couldn't make a final decision, except to agree that we both feel it is overpriced. There are two many things that need attention before we can feel good about this boat: Electrical - she had a dream that the boat had an electrical fire. I might put this down to her fears, if I hadn't found the live battery cables for the third battery bank sitting uninsulated - these cables making contact could have easily started a fire. So I have to wonder what else is at risk. Cleaning - the boat is dirty inside and will require several days of cleaning. It is tidy, but looks like it hasn't had a good deep clean in years. The cushions may be original, and there is a musty boat smell which is likely in the foam. The zippers are seized, so removing the covers (they are otherwise in ok shape - oatmeal coloured fabric) may destroy them. The seat backs are stapled in, so there is no good way to clean them aside from a surface clean. So the old boat smell may not be easy to resolve, and new cushions is several boat bucks I expect, even if we do some work ourselves. Interior condition - many holes in the ceiling liner, some of them filled with epoxy leaving yellow stains which may be impossible to remove, even if I can cover the holes. Most of the teak panels have some kind of holes or damage in them, not horrible, but still detracts from the feel of the interior. No water damage fortunately. So the boat is being hauled tomorrow (I paid for). I will call the owner today to discuss, but I doubt he will be willing to make any concessions on the deal, so that may be the end of it. If he is willing to drop the price to $20K so I can put toward new electrical and cushion cleaning/repair, there is a chance we would go ahead, but this still leaves a whole lot of work for me to do in two weeks. I just keep hoping another suitable boat will come along to make it easier to walk away from this one, but anything less than another 35 will seem like a step down. _______________________________________________ Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions.
