Chris, Seems there’s a guy over on SalNet that is looking at the same two boats as you. I posted a reply there. It may be of some help to you.
I’m spending crazy money and time on my 1982 C&C 37. That should tell you something about what I think of their quality. Or my state of mind. ;-) Anyway, there’s a couple of posts in my blog about wet core and stuff like how C&C did a really good job of securing their fastenings.
