Re: Stus-List 1974 36 mk2 questions

[Shawn Wright via CnC-List]

Hi Steve,

Thanks for the info. I've talked to brokers, but there are so few listings
around here that they don't have anything to show me. I have visited and
walked every dock within a 2 hour drive from here, but being on an island,
that's not a lot of boats, even with cruising grounds in our backyard.
There are new private listings starting to appear every day now, but
nothing new at the brokers yet. The problem is I have not nailed down what
I want yet, so the boats that have interested me are hugely varied, and
usually just out of my price range - like Westsail 32, Nicholson 35, CS
36T. The CS 36T I have not been on board, but there are 5 of them nearby,
and the interior photos I've seen look great, but it's about double my
budget, so I'm now considering the CS 30, but they are much less common
here. Lots of C, but anything over 27' is usually asking too much, like
$30K+. I even looked at Catalina 30...

The only C 32 listed here currently is asking $40K, and the broker says
it's because the wife says sell, but the husband doesn't want to, so he
won't drop the price...
There are a ton of C here (at WestPort in Sidney they are more common
that Catalinas) but the prices seem higher than most places.

I do need to get on board a few more C to get a feel for them, as I have
only been on the 26, 35-2 and 37 so far. And yes, a diesel is a must.
Trouble is, I want a decent light air boat that can also handle rough seas
that we will sea at times, especially north of Desolation Sound. And that
usually means at least 32', which is a challenge to get for $20-25K CAD.

But I am learning at lot along the way. :)

Thanks

 Agree on condition and will add that it’s well Worth paying a bit more
 for a boat with recent upgrades, esp if they are the upgrades you’d make
 anyway.  (The Bimini you’d buy anyway is effectively  free in a used

 35-2 was on my shortlist when I bought my 33-2.

Does anyone have any experience with Airmar’s DX900+, the electromagnetic 
Speed, Temp, Depth and Cross track error Transducer?

I had read some good articles on it, but then I recall also hearing that it 
wasn’t ready for prime time yet.

Wondering if I should wait until possible bugs are worked out.

Hi Tom,
This from West Marine.

Supply Hoses

To carry the gas from the regulator to the stove or heater, use LPG supply hose 
of the correct length. Note that while these hoses are only carrying 0.5 psi, 
they have a 350 psi working pressure rating, so they are dramatically stronger 
than they have to be. Each supply hose should run continuously from inside the 
propane tank enclosure to the appliance: this is not a case where you can chain 
a bunch of fittings together because you ended up a little short on hose. Use a 
Vapor-Tight Straight-Thru fitting where the hose exits your propane locker. 
Supply hoses connect to the propane appliance using a 3/8" female flare swivel 
and connect to the solenoid with a 3/8" male NPT adapter.

The hose needed for the stove is 12 feet, the hose needed for the heater is 21 
feet.

My question is will I have enough flow (volume) if I use 1/4 id hose verses 3/8

Thanks josh and Doug for you thoughts. The issue I'm running into, it is 
extremely hard to find 3/8" id hose in the proper length. I'm in the process of 
building the propane locker, my plan is to have vapor tight fittings for the 
hose and wiring for the solenoid, the hoses will be complete from the tank to 
the appliance.

I can basically get any length I want in 1/4" id with 3/8" Female Flare 
fittings, I'm just not sure there will be enough volume for the appliance.

 I ordered a hose for the stove, I thought it was 3/8" id but turned out to be 
1/4" id with 3/8" Female Flare fittings on each end.

I guess if the hose does not supply enough volume I can order "custom made" 
hoses (very pricey) and swap them out. Any holes drilled will be the same

Hi Tom,

Supply Hoses

To carry the gas from the regulator to the stove or heater, use LPG supply hose 
of the correct length. Note that while these hoses are only carrying 0.5 psi, 
they have a 350 psi working pressure rating, so they are dramatically stronger 
than they have to be. Each supply hose should run continuously from inside the 
propane tank enclosure to the appliance: this is not a case where you can chain 
a bunch of fittings together because you ended up a little short on hose. Use a 
Vapor-Tight Straight-Thru fitting where the hose exits your propane locker.

I can't say for sure but I don't think you'll have a problem with 1/4".  I
lot of campers/trailers us 1/4 copper tubing for the distribution from the
tank.  Stoves, ovens, refrigerators, and heaters are all part of that
system.

 If you're making the connections/fittings I think a major consideration
will be finding the correct sizes.

Re: Stus-List 1974 36 mk2 questions

[Stevan Plavsa via CnC-List]

Shawn, talk to some brokers and look at their boats is my advice.

This reminds me of a guy who came out to buy a hatchback I was selling
recently. The guy drove over an hour out to the countryside where we live
to look at the car, and to try his kid seat in it. It didn't end up fitting
how he liked. He would have saved both of us a lot of time if he had just
gone to a used car lot and done his decision making there. Likewise, you
can learn a lot walking the docks and talking to other boat owners, or
calling on brokers and seeing their boats. Those folks are literally paid
to show boats. Get your short list figured out, buy the first boat that
meets your requirements and price point. Go sailing.

For what it's worth. This is why I priced my boat low when I sold it, and
went through a broker. Quick sale, and only the serious buyers will make
the effort. First guy who looked at it, bought it. Had to rip the bandage
off, it was a hard decision.

Sorry if my earlier message sounded full of crankitude - I'm boatless, and
jealous :)

If you're looking at boats in those size ranges, I REALLY loved my C 32.
And they tend to be priced lower for whatever reason, they're not great
PHRF boats and it seems around here that's what matters. They are a great
handling, and sailing boat that one can cruise on in comfort, though. Mine
was a 1980, later ones came with diesels, mine had an A4. Purchased for
18k, sold for 25k five years later (and many, many boat bucks of investment
and hours of work later - and cruises all over Lake Ontario and Georgian
Bay). I sold a turn-key boat with new sails, solar panels, electrical,
plumbing, etc etc etc.

FWIW
