A pretty boat, but about $30k over-priced is my guess. We are under
contract for an 86 Hunter 40 in excellent shape (our surveyor's words) for
$23k closing Friday (fingers crossed). Having someone with access to the
Soldboats.com database is vital in used boat shopping/selling.

Thanks Nathan,
Something with bigger displacement to let us take longer trips (less
protected waters) in more comfort for long weekends or week-long vacations
is indeed part of our rationale for the larger boat. We've tried taking our
23-2 outside the islands and although she is solid we get
Thanks Charles,
I'll check out the video. We are looking at displacement in regards to
allowing us greater comfort for coastal cruising where we would get outside
of Casco Bay for runs up to mid-coast Maine and back.

I'm in the same boat (pun?). My grandfather plunked my brother and me in a
wooden pram with a square sail at the age of 6-7 and shoved us off in the
lake. We've been sailing ever since. He was a shipwright by trade. We still
have his Triangle Class at the same lake. My wife is new
Thanks Peter,
We've long had eyes on boats like yours with a full cabin at rear but none
are showing up lately in our search criteria. We too are also likely to do
most of our work ourselves. I'll keep you in mind.

Great point Joe,
That is a big item on the pro/con list for the two boats I linked for the
list. The deep keel has it (if it works), and the CB model does not.

I suspect the 34/36 is going to out of our price range as they don't show
up in our search criteria. Is yours the later model 34/36 or the 70's era

Our initial target has been a 35' boat as going larger puts us in a larger
slip category as well (more $). A 35 is not off the list, just exploring
all options.

My wife and I have noticed this as well. Most, but not all, examples have
no windlass and we do like to anchor in bays for lunch now and then and
we've explored options to add a windlass even if it's just manual.

Allow me to first apologize for any ignorance we may suffer before I
introduce our situation. I've been sailing all sorts of small craft for 35+
years but this will be our first adventure in something no-longer
trailerable. I and my wife are shopping for an upgrade in size from our
O'Day 23-2 and
I’m under contract on a yacht through brokerage right now for the first
time. I can give you guidance on the 1st half of the process.

Some engines are deemed interference engines wherein the pistons occupy the
same space as an open valve. If the timing belt brakes, the pistons become
out of sync with the valve train and havoc ensues. With non-interference
engines, it’s just a major inconvenience.

Hi Folks,
We looked at nearly a half dozen C boats this past weekend in RI. Nearly
all were soggy decked and some were a complete loss in my opinion with the
interiors falling apart. However, there is a 38 Landfall in Portsmouth that
may be worth looking at if you are interested. We decided it is
interior C sounds sad :(

Hi Ron,
Thanks for the words of caution. We are definitely balancing the size
situation and appreciate a 40 will be over 5X larger than our 23 and would
love the opportunity to sail on one prior to purchasing if that were an
option.

My surveyor recommended I buy this one. He said it's just as useful as the
professional model he uses and keeps one himself as a backup in his bag.
Use the pinless contact, highest sensitivity, and don't worry about the
specific numbers. If it screams, it's either wet or you found something

It might depend on what you are planning to spend. Most buyer agents split
