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?
