Hi Chuck,
I'm glad you took this on the clarify manhole. I don't want guys at
the boatyard to be getting the wrong idea. :)
Thanks again, Russ

My holding tank is plastic but the hand hole came loose and was a
considerable pain in the ass to fix. The forward water tank in
mine is aluminum and the fuel tank is aluminum. The back stay
attachments are a place for detailed inspection. You'll probably
find that the steering cable idlers plate, directly under the
pedestal, is probably badly rusted. It should be one of the first
safety repairs. The engine mounts may be soft and in need of replacement too.

Hi Mark,
Wow! We have a lot in common. Last year I sold my 35 Mk II
(Expresso) and bought my 37/40+. I loved Expresso, but the 37+ is
better in almost every way. The performance difference is
breathtaking. The boat I bought was in pretty bad shape and I
spent almost a year refitting her. We renamed her "Kaylarah"
after my grand daughters Kayla and Sarah. The side windows are
chronic problems on these boats, but almost all of them have that
problem, so you will probably have to deal with that. If you are,
at all handy, they are not that hard to fix. I can give you a lot
of advice in that area. The holding tank is made out of aluminum,
and the tank was installed before the interior was
installed. Repairing/replacing the tank is a big deal. Of
course, you should watch out for the usual punky cored
deck. Otherwise she is a good boat with minimal problems. Text
me if you need specific advice. There are a lot of 37/40+ owners
on this forum and they have a lot of helpful knowledge.
Good luck,
Gary

I am looking at a 1993 C&C 37/40+ CB model as our next boat. My
first big boat was a 1974 C&C 27 which I had to 12 years, then
upgraded to a 1975 C&C 35 MKII in 1992. After 25 years (come
February) on the best boat ever built, I'm looking to upgrade to
something a little more cruising, but with C&C performance. Given
that requirement, it seems reasonable that I should stick with C&C.
I've read through the all the email lists concerning the C&C 37+
and most everything looks positive. The boat I'm looking at is
listed in Marco Island and immediately needs hatches and windows. I
looked at it over the Thanksgiving holidays, and other that those
issues, it seems quite basic; doesn't appear to have been raced
hard (i.e. no spin hardware & Dacron sails) and not much in
cruising upgrades (i.e. needs windless, davits, etc.). Could be a
good platform to start with.
For you C&C 37/40+ owners out there, is there any thing I should
pay close attention to other than engine condition & standing
rigging condition that could bite me.
Thanks,
Mark Baldridge
