Thanks for all of the responses - I've been out of town for the past couple of days. I did look at both 35 Mkiii on Friday. The boat in Seattle does indeed have a tiller that appears to be original, based on the look of it and the engine control location. The boat in Everett seems to be in bett

No matter what boat you are considering, it is likely that it will at least have a cored deck. IMO there is a better chance something is wrong with the deck than with the hull. Few if any modifications are made to the hull by the POs. The decks OTOH have likely had all types of additions and mod

I'm not sure Alan's around much, but I'll chip in. There are some original tiller 35's. The cockpit is designed for a wheel so it's a little crowded with tiller, but the tiller gives you great cockpit space at anchor as well as better feel at the helm. Jim Watts Paradigm Shift C&C 35 Mk III Victor

Yes there are less than perfect options available. I really like the look of the original unit. C&C cut every corner on cost with the MkV (compared to previous mks) but somehow spent money on this really slick tiller. I'd prefer it look original when I'm done. I looked at the website last night

What about rebuilding it? Smiths clear penetrating epoxy and wood filler can yield some pretty amazing results. Coat the whole thing in epoxy for a final coat. In the off season you can mix up a big batch an let it soak in real long. Like a couple days long. Then let it cure even longer. Josh
