Thanks, Dennis.
All ball valves. Have to free up the cockpit drain valves. The surveyor says 
I'll get another couple of seasons on the cutless bearing and it has a MaxProp 
that I like a lot! I looked at the strut and discussed it during the survey. 
The surveyor (Dwight Escalera of Executive Marine who is a friend and very 
knowledgeable) said everything was fine there. I'll monitor it during the 
summer, though.

Congratulations! 



Sounds like the boat is on the hard so focus on the underbody.  If they're not 
ball valves, replace the thruhull valves with ball valves. Replace the cutless 
bearing.  Maybe rebed the strut.  Make sure you like the prop.



Everything else you can do after launch.

Well, I started out looking at a fixer-upper of a 35 Mk I, then looked at Mk 
IIs, then a 39 (we didn't care for the layout for cruising as a couple). 
Glanced at some Mk IIIs--C&C really seems to have got it right with each of the 
35s, didn't they? About the same time a friend found me a 40 to look at. Way 
out of my range, but a lovely boat. A couple of months later, the boat's owner 
and I have come to an agreement, and next week she's mine! Hull number 143, 
built in 1981, most recently called Thunder, (based in East Greenwich, RI) and 
before that Reverie, she'll be coming to her new home in Newport. Cruising 
plans include getting to Maine this summer.

I've been lurking on the list and once in a while chiming in when I thought I 
had something useful to add, but I've been impressed with the scope and depth 
of knowledge here. So what should I be looking at attending to before launching 
in April? I know to pull the tie straps and check they're bedded well and for 
crevice corrosion, and there are couple of survey items to attend to, but 
nothing serious. What else? Suggestions for projects or improvements?

Cheers
Andy
