If the look and function are ok, it would most likely be easier to just shorten the lifelines. I shortened the top lifelines on my 27 in order to lower them down a bit at the bow pulpit and cause less wear on the genoa. Clamp type fittings that can be slid up and down the tubing made the exact

Hello, I looked a C&C 99 a number of years ago, probably around 2012. It was very nice, and is kind of tight down below. I wanted a boat that 4-5 people could spend 3-4 days aboard and I felt that the 99 was just too small. I ended up buying a 110 and the extra space below was the big difference.
