Hi David, I suppose this is obvious but make sure your surveyor is able to be certain there are no issues with wet or delaminated balsa core in the hull and deck. I don't have the 1989 laminate schedule but the 1990 laminate schedule for the 37+ for both hull and deck shows 1" of balsa throughout.
While C&C was very good at cored hull construction there have been a few hulls that have had wet core issues as they aged, frequently due to penetrations from the inside (bilge area, etc.) from mounting screws, etc. I'm aware of one owner whose hull had been in the water year round in the Caribbean who spent over $50,000.00 in 2009 having wet hull core removed and replaced. Ouch. "Suggested List Price at $134,000 then the low retail at $49,200 and the high retail at $55,720. Does that seem right to anyone?" The suggested list looks a bit high. I'd think there are few that start asking at over $115,000.00 these days. What they are actually selling for is an easy answer if you know a broker who will look up the recent sales in Yachtworld's database for you (perhaps for a small fee?). Good luck. *//(\\./) (\\(\\\.(\/)/ /)/ * kenhea...@gmail.com Ken Heaton & Anne Tobin S/V Salazar - Can 54955 C&C 37/40 XL - Hull # 67 Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia On 6 October 2012 23:13, David Roberts <drobert...@comcast.net> wrote: > [David Roberts] Wow great feed back!
