5'11" keel would be *odd* for this boat. $39k would be top of range, but
not unheard of for a well sorted boat five years ago.

Dave,
I had no noticeable corrosion on my keel bolts after over twenty years in salt
water. The forward keel bolt was leaking and had a lot of stagnant water

yea, right up until the next boom time when every body and their cousin goes

Another factor in the used boat market is the aging demographics of sailing and
boating in general.
How many 30 somethings are looking to / can afford to buy a used boat and have
time or interest in using it? My discussions with people in there late 20s and
30s indicate they are not interested
When I kept my C&C 25 on a mooring in Key Biscayne, the joke around the marina
was that as a hurricane approached, some owners would be adding lines while
other loosened theirs, hoping for an insurance settlement.
I concur with the chorus about how expensive it is to fix up a neglected
sailboat
Seller's market? Perhaps. After Katrina I didn't see a strong market. Many
owners took the insurance money and ran or bought smaller boats.
Typical example: 41 footer destroyed; replaced with J22.
Maybe Ed Levert can share more insight from the New Orleans side of the lake.

I expect that 80% or more are happy to sell the boats to the insurance
companies. Unless this economy turns around rapidly I suspect that the current
glut of used and new boats for sale will remain.

Sandy will certainly have an impact from Boston to Annapolis, but you have
to wonder how many boat owners will actually buy another boat when 80% of
them hardly ever leave the dock.
BoatUS reported that 65,000 boats were damaged or destroyed, but I have not
seen a breakdown. If 10% were destroyed

I spent as much on upgrades as I did on my boat in the first 10 months! I

My 1979 LF38 was headed for the dumpster when I rescued it. Good price but

Joe,
Thanks. I have the same issue in the bilge and will do as you did. However, I

my usual sunny, optimistic way I'm expecting to see something like that found

The washer plates under the nuts were badly corroded on my boat. I replaced
them with stainless steel ones and have had no more issues. The bolts
themselves looked fine, but I am not sure how easy it is to tell visually.

So, I’ve been reading the threads on purchasing the older LF38 needing work
versus the cost of buying one in great shape and the other threads about buying
a 35-3 with the infamous C&C smile and all the while wondering about what I may
find this summer when I pull my boat and inspect the keel.
IMHO a LF38 is the wrong boat for a budget refurb operation.
The hull is cored along with the deck, the rigging is rod, and the engine is a
V-drive unit.
A new engine, rod rigging, and sails are going to be very expensive. If the
boat has really been let go, you might have hull issues to deal wit
Custom keel, old sails, old electronics, custom dinette table? Top dollar.

I had much the same experience and result as Danny when I bought my boat last
