Thanks for the input gentlemen. I would welcome any more insight and look
forward to Doug's 35iii photos, off-list as well.
I will add to the discussion the following excerpt from an email reply from
nick at Bristol marine, in response to my request for an estimate on re-bedding
the keel and filling the smile:

However, based on our long experience repairing C&C's, in particular the 33 Mk
II, 35 Mk III, & the 41, all of which have the ballast attached to the hull at
the end of a very deep keel sump, there may be more serious structural issues
involved, particularly if the boat has been aground at any point in its life.
The key indicator of more serious issues are exterior stress cracks (sometimes
obvious, sometimes subtle) at the radius where the fin meets the hull,
particularly at the leading & trailing edges. Other signs of trouble are cracks
or delamination where the interior structural grid meets the keel sump,
delaminated tabbing at the bottom of the main bulkhead port & stb, or signs
that the mast step is sagging.
If in doubt, have an experienced surveyor familiar with these issues look at
the boat. i.e. Bill Provis, 416-801-5527; Peter McGuire 416-809-2186; or
Wallace Gouk 416-526-3845

I also spent some more time learning how to search past posts and picked up a
little more info, though one question not answered was: How do you get the
foul smelling, deteriorating foam out of the crossmember?
Looking forward to getting mine further apart and - if nothing else-
reinforcing this potentially weak area.
Dave.
