The Chainplates on the 35-2 are easily accessible behind the sliding doors, I
would look for signs of water coming in from the cover plates, also look for
any thing oozing from around the bolts. Also tap on them with a screw driver
handle and listen for echos. I don’t know if the chain plate bulkheads are
cored or solid fiberglass.

Shawn,
My boat came with vinyl covered plywood panels that
are held in
place by velcro. They had become pretty ragged and
warped so I
replaced them with "foamed PVC" sheet. They
look very nice. I
can't find any pics of them but I'll email you
a before pic. I'm
not sure that would work on your boat, but it's an
idea....

We are
considering a '74 35-2 which has had quite a
number of holes drilled through the interior
headliner, for the
purpose of through-bolting (and apparently epoxy
filling/drilling, but not confirmed by me) various
hardware,
including replacement stainless grab rails. In some
areas, 4-8"
circular holes were cut, and white acrylic panels
similar to the
factory panels were added, which look ok. For the
grab rails,
there is just a series of 1" holes. There are
also a few places
where access was cut for wiring. As a result, the
headliner is
not too tidy, with a bit of a swiss cheese look.
What I am wondering is whether anyone has
successfully made
a headliner cover from vinyl, fabric or semi rigid
material
like I've seen done on other boats. My first
thought is that
the complex curves in the cabin top would make
this very
difficult to do well. I have seen one example
where the white
covers were in teak veneer (maybe this was an
option?) but I
think that might just make them stand out
more.
Also, something more critical than headliners -
what do I
look for when inspecting the chainplates on the
35-2? If I get
a chance on this boat, I will need to look closely
at them.
Are they visible behind the sliding storage doors,
or do I
need to take things apart to fully inspect?
