Re: Stus-List 1981 C 34 - second propane locker?

[ALAN BERGEN via CnC-List]

My boat came with port and starboard lockers. The propane tank, pressure
gauge and regulator are in the port locker. The starboard locker is also
hinged with a thru hull, but it isn't completely sealed.

Our 29-2 came with the port locker lid glued down. I cut the hardened
mastic with a hacksaw blade, cut a hole in the top of the space, cleaned up
the lid and added a piano hinge, and used the space for hanging bags of
empty cans, etc. There was a capped through-hull down below which had never
been used. Our current boat has the starboard locker lid glued down, and so
far I haven't been motivated to repeat the process, which is long and
convoluted. The 35 does not have a factory through-hull below the locker,
and neither boat had a proper propane locker in place under the glued lid.

Re: Stus-List 1981 C 34 - second propane locker?

[DMcMillan via CnC-List]

I had a closer look today using a mirror on a stick through the port in the
back of the quarter berth and it appears that it was designed to be a locker
but a hole was never cut in the top of the port side corner seat.   The
"lid" seems to be glued onto the top of the seat with Sikaflex or similar
that will have to be cut through with a long blade.  I was able to insert a
kitchen knife between the lid and the top of the locker, but the 40 year old
Sikaflex has hardened.  Maybe when it warms up a bit more it will soften and
I will be able to cut it.

Re: Stus-List 1981 C 34 - second propane locker?

[Don Kern via CnC-List]

Shawn,

My 1974 C 35 Mk2 still has the original three burner pressure alcohol 
stove with oven, which is very tired and needs replacement.  I believe a 
previous owner of Callisto had the boat modified for Propane, since 
propane stoves are not listed as an option on 1974 C 35 price list - I 
may be wrong though.  Do you have any photos of your lockers and could 
you describe the plumbing for the propane stove with make and model of 
the stove? Any info would be helpful when I haul out the old stove/oven.

I haven't seen the 34 lockers, but it shouldn't be too difficult to 
cut one in, depending on your experience with fiberglass work. You 
will need some kind of sealed tub to fit the propane tank of course.

Re: Stus-List 1981 C 34 - second propane locker?

[David Risch via CnC-List]

My guess is that the second locker locker was an option.  You paid for the 
labor and parts to install the lid and its drain.   You might be able to 
fabricate a locker but results may vary...

Dennis,

That is interesting - on my 1981 C 34 there is a second propane locker on the 
port side - I keep a spare propane tank in it. It has a drain to outside the 
hull above water line same as on starboard.  Assuming you have the through hull 
on the outside on port, I would guess that a previous owner glued/painted the 
lid down and you just need to pry it open.  The hinges are symmetric about the 
helm seat on my boat.

Hope that helps,

When I was boat shopping a few years back here on Lake Ontario, 34’s were 
fairly common and could easily be had for less than C$20k.  More needy examples 
quite a bit less, especially if a broker is not involved.  I doubt the price 
has changed much.

Re: Stus-List 1981 C 34

[Nathan Post via CnC-List]

Steve,

I have a 1981 C CB version which we bought in June 2018. It is a fun boat 
which sails really well and is comfortable for coastal cruising. 

Prices vary a lot with condition and what it comes with and where you are 
located. Mine was pretty bare bones with old main and jib (had a sail loft fix 
them only to have new rips a few months later), broken water heater, broken 
propane system, head hoses needed to be replaced, missing parts and had been 
sitting on the hard for 2 years so the cushions we mildewed etc. the hull is 
solid with no soft spots although there are some problem areas in the deck that 
I want to fix at some point.  Westerbeker 20B2 diesel engine had a bad fuel 
pump relay which was a $30 part, but it was not running when we bought the boat 
because of that.  

We paid $7500 US for the boat. Not sure if that was a good deal in the end or 
not. We put ~11k in so far (not counting marina costs, haul and storage fees) 
and lots of sweat equity in getting most systems working over the last year, 
including new WH, water pump, battery shore charger, rebuilt prop, dripless 
shaft seal, new foam in the cushions, new cruising sails, some new running 
rigging, fenders, dock lines, buying safety equipment, a rigid vang, etc. etc. 
So we have an $18k boat at this point which is mostly in working order although 
there are always things that need fixing and enhancements that would be nice. I 
didn’t realize how much a dodger would cost (~5k) and we don’t  have one so if 
your boat comes with one in decent shape that is worth a bit.  Same goes for a 
working autopilot and self-tailing winches.

Old boats always can always use more boat bucks so plan on that.  It might be 
better to buy a boat where the previous owner did a bunch of the upgrades - on 
the other hand I get new stuff the way I want it. In any case, if the sails are 
crispy and all systems are working and it is reasonably well equipped and clean 
then something in the $16-$24k US range might be reasonable I think.  Lots of 
recent upgrades, good sail selection, and very clean, then maybe even a bit 
more. If not, then it should be significantly less I think but you will put 
most of that money in regardless. 

Hope that helps.  Not sure how the market compares further north.  Get a survey 
done and if it looks good  get it and have fun sailing!

Re: Stus-List 1981 C 34

[Matthew L. Wolford via CnC-List]

In 2012 or thereabouts, I listed my 1978 C 34 (with numerous expensive 
upgrades and relatively new rags) for $35K (US)  Absolutely no interest at 
that price point.  I later came down to $25K, and the boat eventually sold 
for $22.5K.  The buyer got a great boat at a great price.  If I were buying 
one today, I think $20K US is fair.

I live in Nova Scotia and have the opportunity to purchase a C 34. 
Assuming that the boat is in good condition with no major structural issues, 
what would be a reasonable price range?
The pictures show a clean boat which looks like it’s been well maintained. 
It does have the Yanmar diesel and the current owner says the sails are in 
good shape.

Thanks in advance for your responses.

Re: Stus-List 1981 C 34 second propane locker?

[Edward Levert via CnC-List]

Dennis:

If you will open the port tank locker, you will notice that the hinge is
not visible on the outside. My 1981 C 34 has a storage locker on the port
side of the helm. The locker also contains a wash down spray nozzle and is
vented to the atmosphere. Try prying the lid open.

I have the same boat and on mine, the locker has a hinge and I use it for extra 
lines/dock lines.

Re: Stus-List 1981 C 34 second propane locker?

[Ron Ricci via CnC-List]

Dennis,

 

If you are looking for backup propane storage, let me offer a suggestion.  I
only can carry one tank and have a 5 kg fiberglass tank.  Theoretically, you
can see the level in the tank but have to remember to check it.  There is
room in my propane locker for three 1 pound camp stove cylinders.  I bought
an adaptor
(https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002YSY20/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage
?ie=UTF8
<https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002YSY20/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage
?ie=UTF8=1> =1) so a cylinder can be connected in place of the tank.
For me this is especially good since my propane grille and outboard use the
1 pound cylinder.

Ron

I have a 1981 C with a propane locker on starboard side next to the
helmsman seat.  On the port side there is an identical looking locker but
the "lid" does not have any hinges and seems to be glued down.   Has anyone
converted this to a second propane locker?
