Shawn, the Niagara 35 is a very solid, well built in my opinion and seaworthy boat. Pretty roomy for a 35 of that era but you are right, the layout is not for everybody.
I don't know your program, BUT the Niagara is painful and does terrible angles upwind. It's just a different sailplan compared to a C&C. Good luck. Bruno.

According to the specs, the boat has a 1" shaft with a 3 blade bronze prop. There is a spare 2 blade elliptic with shaft. What I am not sure about is whether this photo is with the 3 blade or 2 blade prop. I suspect the 2 blade prop and shaft are from the previous A4 engine. I will definitely want a surveyor to inspect this closely, and will of course do a sea trial at all engine speeds if/when the time comes. Today, I'm off to look at a Niagara 35, with a melon sized dent in the keel. Mostly for curiosity, as the unusual early interior in this 1980 model is not well suited for a couple, given the lack of a proper double, except in the salon. I quite like the later Encore layout in this boat though, but they usually sell for more than we can afford.

It was necessary to move the prop aft and get hull clearance when repowering and going to a larger prop. No sense in putting in a large engine if you can't put that horsepower into the water effectively. I was able to do it because I went from a 7/8" shaft to a 1 1/8" diameter.

I recall reading a survey on a boat I was considering where the surveyor commented on excessive prop shaft extension as a possible cause of vibration. As this boat has a VW diesel (not sure of the transmission), I am wondered if the shaft might be too long. How does this compare with other 35s? -- Shawn Wright shawngwri...@gmail.com<mailto:shawngwri...@gmail.com> _______________________________________________ Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions.
