I read you comment about listing. I added some house batteries to my Viking which created a list. I placed them in the same cabinet the all the wires went into (there was no battery at all when I bought the boat). It was a tight fit but they do fit.
I liked you idea of re-placing your batteries behind the engine. I may be able to do this on my boat...maybe... I'm going to look seriously at that. I know it is a little tight there, also, and there are lots of wires and cables running through there. But , it would be worth the effort to get rid of that list... It would give me back some much needed storage as well. I had previously thought to move them to the "L" shaped settee aft of the head, closer to the center line but, that is where the holding tank is. I had never thought of trying to place them behind the motor... Pulling them in and out might be a little tough but, its no picnic where they are now...LOL I have not even gotten down to take the cover off of my boat yet. I'm planning this Saturday for that. The bottom is supposed to be completely done. I can't wait to see that and grab some pics. I had them re-do the boot strip as well and raise a bit to accommodate that list I'm talking about. I grow a little beard above the line every year to the aft part of the topsides. Maybe an inch, just at the base of the blue stripe. Thanks for the insights on your boat, these are on my "Dream Boat" wish list of potential boats for maybe 10 years from now... LOL The cool thing is that the admiral is totally for an upgrade and would do it now if we could pull it off! So,...

Its a 2000 121 (the pre epoxy years). We�ve had her for less than a year so we�re still forming an opinion but so far very encouraged. Nowhere near the quality of woodwork in the original C&C�s so everything is a tradeoff. The sail drive is a mixed bag. They are a maintenance headache (seals, painting, etc) but a lot of that may be 1 time grief as I�m new to them. Also the lack of prop walk is a mixed blessing. I need to live with it a bit longer to really decide. You do get a huge amount of additional space under the cockpit that would otherwise be occupied by the shaft. This allows the builder to put things like battery banks, water heaters, etc on centerline. Vibration and noise is also reduced but not sure its at a meaningful level. Too early to say.
