Re: Stus-List Looking at C 37/40+ CB as next boat

[Josh Muckley via CnC-List]

I needed it when it became necessary to re-engineer the pickup tube for the
pump out.  The old one had become disconnected so despite thinking we had
evacuated the tank it was still about 80% full.

Re: Stus-List Looking at C 37/40+ CB as next boat

[John and Maryann Read via CnC-List]

I find it is very handy at fall haul out to thoroughly rinse the tank using a 
hose with nozzle attached.  This is done of course after the normal pump out.  
Just stick in the hose with pressure spray running, spray the inside and rinse 
out the inside of the tank.  Then pump out again.  Ensures tank is relatively 
clean and has only fresh water left in it.  Then I pump in antifreeze through 
the head and all is well for the winter.

My holding tank is plastic but the hand hole came loose and was a considerable 
pain in the ass to fix.  The forward water tank in mine is aluminum and the 
fuel tank is aluminum.  The back stay attachments are a place for detailed 
inspection.  You'll probably find that the steering cable idlers plate, 
directly under the pedestal, is probably badly rusted.  It should be one of the 
first safety repairs.  The engine mounts may be soft and in need of replacement 
too.

A "hand hole" is an inspection hole with a cover large enough to get a hand

Hi Mark,
 Wow!  We have a lot in common.  Last year I sold my 35 Mk II (Expresso) 
and bought my 37/40+.  I loved Expresso, but the 37+ is better in almost every 
way.  The performance difference is breathtaking.  The boat I bought was in 
pretty bad shape and I spent almost a year refitting her.  We renamed her 
"Kaylarah" after my grand daughters Kayla and Sarah.  The side windows are 
chronic problems on these boats, but almost all of them have that problem, so 
you will probably have to deal with that.  If you are, at all handy, they are 
not that hard to fix.  I can give you a lot of advice in that area.  The 
holding tank is made out of aluminum, and the tank was installed before the 
interior was installed.  Repairing/replacing the tank is a big deal.  Of 
course, you should watch out for the usual punky cored deck.  Otherwise she is 
a good boat with minimal problems.  Text me if you need specific advice.  There 
are a lot of 37/40+ owners on this forum and they have a lot of helpful 
knowledge.

Good luck,
Gary

I didn't mean to insult anyone. I said plastic because I didn't have any
proof they were Marelon.
I had found this on another sailing forum:

The internet used to mean never having to say I don't know. Now it means I
don't know what to believe.

The Thu Hull are actually Marelon®, a proprietary formulation of polymar
composite compounds using composite reinforced polymer and additives to
produce a superior marine-grade product.

   - For use above and below the waterline
   - Precision molded plumbing systems
   - Complete freedom from corrosion
   - U.L. and A.B.Y.C. approved

Forespar "93" series valves and thru-hull fittings meet all design criteria

Mark,

I am extremely pleased with my 1991 37+.  It is responsive and very quick.
Here are a few things I've encountered. 

The rod rigging requires periodic inspection and re-heading.  Navtec
recommended re-heading the rods and replacing the turnbuckles every 10
years.  Probably much of that is CYA.  They also recommended replacing the
rod rigging after 20.  Mine was re-headed and turnbuckles replaced at 20
years.  All inspections were OK at that time and I did not replace the rod
rigging.  Full rig inspection requires pulling the mast.  

My 'roof' leaked from the beginning.  I re-bedded the baby stay track and a
few other things with Butyl rubber.  The baby stay track which is subject to
being pulled away from the deck accounted for most of the leaks.

The stamped plate that holds the idler pulleys for the steering is made of
carbon steel.  Mine rusted so badly the pulleys came loose and the steering
cable fell off.  I got one of the last parts Edson had in stock.  You may
want to inspect under the pedestal for evidence of rust.  I'd call Edson and
ask for a 776-4 idler.  They may have to make more parts if you have to
order one.  The newer S/S part is different.

My holding tank is plastic and the hand hole passed gas.  I got many
complaints from my wife.  Once I figured out how to take everything apart,
it was easy to replace & re-bed the hand hole.  I also replaced the shower
valve.  If you need, I have pictures.

Thanks to Gary Russell being the lead, I added an autopilot.  It's like
having another crew member which we refer to as the German guy, Otto, as in
Ottomatic.

Good luck,

Stu,Josh,Edd,Ron,

Wow, Thanks for the quick reply's. We're flying down to do another look 
this Friday.


I'm meeting with Charlie Nelson (Water Phantom 36XL) tomorrow to look 
over his boat and ask questions as it is similar and local.


The steering quadrant is reported to have been replaced in the last 24 
months. Rigging is original, but reported in excellent condition.


I hope the survey will be thorough. I also plan on getting a compression 
test on the engine. It has a Navico H800 autohelm, but condition is 
unknown at this time.


I do know that the AC blows ice cold!

I'm sure I will be asking many questions in the next few days and 
hopefully later as we make her ours.


Thanks,

Mark Baldridge

Re: Stus-List Looking at C 37/40+ CB as next boat

[Edd Schillay via CnC-List]

Mark,

I've had a 37+ for 11 years now -- great boat. Mine is also the centerboard 
model (kinda -- long story, but I can fill you in.) 

Aside from the usual things, check the centerboard cable status. 

Yes, the windows are an issue, but not a very difficult fix if you're handy and 
have access to some good tools. I replaced mine three years ago. 

The only negative is light-air performance-- but in moderate and heavy air, she 
is fast and ultra stable -- a real dream. 

You'll find this list more valuable than a new set of sails. Lots of 37+ owners 
(as well as XLs and Rs -- and their kid brother, the 34 series). 


All the best,

Edd

Re: Stus-List Looking at C 37/40+ CB as next boat

[Josh Muckley via CnC-List]

My holding tank is plastic but the hand hole came loose and was a
considerable pain in the ass to fix.  The forward water tank in mine is
aluminum and the fuel tank is aluminum.  The back stay attachments are a
place for detailed inspection.  You'll probably find that the steering
cable idlers plate, directly under the pedestal, is probably badly rusted.
It should be one of the first safety repairs.  The engine mounts may be
soft and in need of replacement too.

Hi Mark,
 Wow!  We have a lot in common.  Last year I sold my 35 Mk II
(Expresso) and bought my 37/40+.  I loved Expresso, but the 37+ is better
in almost every way.  The performance difference is breathtaking.  The boat
I bought was in pretty bad shape and I spent almost a year refitting her.
We renamed her "Kaylarah" after my grand daughters Kayla and Sarah.  The
side windows are chronic problems on these boats, but almost all of them
have that problem, so you will probably have to deal with that.  If you
are, at all handy, they are not that hard to fix.  I can give you a lot of
advice in that area.  The holding tank is made out of aluminum, and the
tank was installed before the interior was installed.  Repairing/replacing
the tank is a big deal.  Of course, you should watch out for the usual
punky cored deck.  Otherwise she is a good boat with minimal problems.
Text me if you need specific advice.  There are a lot of 37/40+ owners on
this forum and they have a lot of helpful knowledge.

Good luck,
Gary

Stus-List Looking at C 37/40+ CB as next boat

[Mark via CnC-List]

I am looking at a 1993 C 37/40+ CB model as our next boat. My first 
big boat was a 1974 C 27 which I had to 12 years, then upgraded to a 
1975 C 35 MKII in 1992. After 25 years (come February) on the best 
boat ever built, I'm looking to upgrade to something a little more 
cruising, but with C performance. Given that requirement, it seems 
reasonable that I should stick with C


I've read through the all the email lists concerning the C 37+ and 
most everything looks positive. The boat I'm looking at is listed in 
Marco Island and immediately needs hatches and windows. I looked at it 
over the Thanksgiving holidays, and other that those issues, it seems 
quite basic; doesn't appear to have been raced hard (i.e. no spin 
hardware & Dacron sails) and not much in cruising upgrades (i.e. needs 
windless, davits, etc.). Could be a good platform to start with.


For you C 37/40+ owners out there, is there any thing I should pay 
close attention to other than engine condition & standing rigging 
condition that could bite me.


Thanks,
