Re: Stus-List Made an offer on a C 35 mk2

An A4 does not a dealbreaker make. I looked at the issue of A4 vs Diesel this way: 30 year old diesel or 30 old gasser. The boats with the 30 year old diesel had about on average, a 5k markup over their A4 brethren. A 30 year old motor, is a 30 year old motor, is a 30 year old motor. Gas or

Re: Stus-List Made an offer on a C 35 mk2

I was not suggesting an A4 was a bad thing – the old diesel would have no parts or support at all and the A4 is very well supported. Just that if the engine – of ANY kind – is RWC and the boat was used in salt water to keep in mind that is a long time for an engine to last in salt. My original

Re: Stus-List Propeller Question for 35-3

There are lots of resources for prop calculators but try the one below. You'll have to know your engine max rpm and transmission gear ratio. It will also be help to know the clearance from the shaft to the hull. Consider a 3 blade for less slip. This is also a good time to seriously consider a

Stus-List Propeller Question for 35-3

Hi everyone, I recently bought a 35-3, and one of the projects it came with was the prop had galvanic corrosion and needed to be replaced. It's a fixed two blade. The previous owners adjusted the pitch on it, apparently from 10 to 8. They seemed to think that improved performance but the

Re: Stus-List Made an offer on a C 35 mk2

Are you using a broker? Did you exchange money? Did you sign a contract? A typical brokered deal will follow an AYBA flowpath. The "deal" would be signing a contract and putting 10% down (held in escrow). This earns you a contracted amount of time (usually 30 days) to get a survey and a loan

Sam, IIRC, I’m swinging a 10x16 Martec elliptical prop. Good forward performance. Reverse requires a lot of rpms to get a response, but it works for me. I’m just a high speed – low drag racer anyway. Jake Jake Brodersen C 35 Mk-III “Midnight Mistress” Hampton VA From:

Re: Stus-List Propeller Question for 35-3

Joel reminded me, I forgot to mention that a properly pitched prop will reach max engine RPM. My Yanmar has an instantaneous rating of 3600rpm, a 1 hour rating of 3400rpm, and a continuous rating of 3200rpm. The correlating horse power changes with each rating. I chose the 1 hour rating when

Re: Stus-List Made an offer on a C 35 mk2

I would add that a 30 year old diesel that is well taken of, and is operated within its parameteres is virtually indestructable.. But run a diesel cold, forget to change oil, put in the wrong oil.. and you have a dead weight within 10 years.. AAn Atomic 4 is a great engine, its very forgiving,

Re: Stus-List Propeller Question for 35-3

Sam, Congrats! It shows you are a man of intellect and taste! My MaxProp 2 blade is set to 14 degrees. Prior owners tried 12 and 16 before settling on 14. It depends on the diameter of the prop as well as the pitch. If the engine revs to max RPM with a clean bottom it is pitched properly. 8

I would second Peter , and while I agree with Steve’s “He didn’t tell me anything I didn’t know” (I’m guessing in reference to an insurance survey after owning the boat for a period of time) , when it comes to the initial purchase , I’d prefer to go with the “Pro” and attend if possible. IMHO
