The keel bolts to the hull at that keel stub. That seam looks pretty darn good to me. Google “C&C smile” and you’ll see worse seams, for example here’s a DIY article on fixing one: http://cncphotoalbum.com/doityourself/smile/index.htm. If you’re not already considering this, I might recommend you hire a reputable professional marine surveyor to survey the boat. It might cost you $1000, but that will buy you peace of mind. The survey would hopefully identify any deal-breaking issues with the boat, or else give you reassurance that you’re buying a sound boat. If you buy the boat, the survey might give you an initial list of things that need attention, and a good survey report is generally valuable to have if you ever go to sell the boat. In fact you should ask the seller to see any previous survey reports. That is a good-looking boat. I love the interior - it makes my 1972 C&C 30 MK I look quite spartan in comparison.

I have a question about what appears to be at least a surface crack along the middle of the keel that goes pretty much the entire length of the keel. I've pasted the picture into the email below but not sure if that is going to show up on the listserv. If not, if anyone familiar with this model in particular could let me know if you could take a quick look at the picture and provide an opinion on normal vs. abnormal I could email pics. Thanks for your consideration. Lisle <image.png> _______________________________________________ This list is supported by the generous donations of our members.
