Richard,
Congrats on your new boat. I'm in the market for my first C&C. Growing up
my family owned a C&C 25, C&C 34, and I raced on a C&C 35 MK II.
I'm looking for a boat for Bayfield WI on Lake Superior for my young
family, I have two boys age 7 and 4. My search has narrowed to the 33
MKII, perhaps you can express opinion on the merits of the 33 for a family
boat.
I'm interested in fixed keel model, I assume the 33 you are selling has the
shoal draft. I see a listing for a 33 MKII in Kentucky with a shoal draft.
As understand it, the 33 MKII has issues with the mast step / keel sump.
Did you encounter this with your boat? If yes, what is involved in this
repair as for as cost and complexity?
I appreciate any insight that you might have.
Tom Lynch.
