FYI, Engines can be test run easily by rigging a garden hose from a water source, with shutoff valves right to the raw water intake of the pump. I have a rig I use each spring. You probably will need to hire a mechanic the owner agrees to, to Summerize the engine, demonstrate proper function, work the transmission and check all gages and general operation. Afterward the engine will need to be Winterized again, so expect a mechanic to charge 1 to 2 hours labor plus antifreeze, to do a complete job. I'd figure $150 to $200 max to do the whole job.
Chuck Resolute 1990 C&C 34R Atlantic City, NJ ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Roberts" <drobert...@comcast.net> To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Sent: Friday, October 5, 2012 10:51:39 PM Subject: Stus-List Best price on a 1989 CNC 37+ We are getting ready to enter into negotiations on a 1989 CNC 37+. The boat is in fair condition and it has a few issues; it needs new upholstery; the keel joint needs to be re-glassed in; all the running rigging is ready to be replaced; it has a universal M35 and it looks like it had been over heated to the point of baking the some paint off of the heat exchanger closest to the muffler. The salesman said the engine was running when they took the boat in on trade, the boat is on the hard so I won't be able to run the engine until spring. Oh the boat has been on the hard 4 to 5 seasons, and the date on the oil filter is 2007. The salesman said they have had it that long because of the 7'3" draft, and a number of people have backed out after the appraisal over small issues. The sails are in good condition. I will of course get an appraisal once we agree on a price and if he finds something very big we will reconsider the offer. I have seen similar boats advertized anywhere from $89K to $119K of course there too is a range of conditions. What the asking price is and the final sale price ends up to be are not the same. Is there any way to find out what they are really selling for like a Kelly blue book for boats? Any input is appreciated. Also are there is any known issues I need to look for on this model. _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com
