What engine does the boat have? An original A4, if RWC, can be considered fully depreciated by now and most of them are RWC. The optional diesel as a creation made by Westebeake from MG Midget engine blocks. From all I have read, it made a nice little engine but parts are almost impossible to get now.

To be fair, most surveyors cannot realistically know the specific issues to look for in each model. That said, we are in C&C land and several of the local surveyors know the boats and a few actually worked for C&C over the years. (one - a dutch name escapes me, but a good guy and he's down your way.) FWIW When I inquired about some work with Bristol marine in Port Credit, Nick Bailey made the following recommendations of surveyors who they felt knew C&C boats. No affiliation or relationship etc... have an experienced surveyor familiar with these issues look at the boat. i.e. Bill Provis, 416-801-5527<tel:416-801-5527>; Peter McGuire 416-809-2186<tel:416-809-2186>; or Wallace Gouk 416-526-3845<tel:416-526-3845> That said, read up, ask questions here and do your own survey as well.....lift the cabin sole, look at all of the floor timbers (whatever they're called in a plastic boat) One thing I did not do and should have, was insisted on the opportunity to put the boat through its paces in the water, under power.

He did mine. I wasn't unhappy with the work but since then I've questioned the value of surveys in general. He didn't tell me anything I didn't know. He did a good job but stayed within his scope. I can send you my survey if you want a sample of the work. I don't believe I'm breaking any agreement by sharing it. I'm far from a pro, just a blunderer who's read a lot of Don Casey and Nigel Calder. I own the same moisture meter that those guys use. The notion that you have to be a rocket surgeon to use a moisture meter is a little beyond me. There's a lot an amateur can learn about a boat with one of those before spending $600 on a survey. Sure, you can get false positives, like backing plates registering as moisture .. but you won't get false negatives. If there's moisture, it'll find it. Steve Suhana, C&C 32 Toronto
