Stus-List Beneteau
Going over to the dark side. The Beneteau Group announced it bought Rec Boat Holdings, a group of U.S. brands owned by Platinum Equity Group, which includes Michigan-based Four Winns, Glastron, Wellcraft and Scarab. Beneteau says the acquisition is in line with the group's development strategy for the North American market. The private equity group retains ownership of Flippin, Ark.-based Fishing Boat Holdings, maker of the Ranger, Triton and Stratos boat brands that were also acquired at that time.

Re: Stus-List Beneteau
Bill Glastron was part of AMF at one time I believe who manufactured Spirit sailboats. So not completely Dark Side Now that my father is gone I guess it is up to me to send the long rambly history style memos ... Our family had powerboats. Springbok, then Glastron. The boat we had in the lake was not suitable when we moved to an inlet off the ocean. No more water skiing and even a deep vee when we changed did not get used. Local gastron dealer found out he could also sell Spirit sailboats. So Dad worked out a deal where he bought a Spirit 28 and the motorboat dealer put it in the boatshow with mast up so that he could get a spot in the middle of the floor with all his powerboats and his lone sailboat. Less than two years later the Spirit 28 High Hopes was replaced with the CC 36 Blue Horizon No. 1 in 1980.

Re: Stus-List Beneteau
Just spent the weekend (finally) getting my boat launched with a working power train, but all weekend there was the meditative tap tap tap of little hammers and chisels from nearby, as the sad owners of a very pretty newer Beneteau spent yet another day patiently chipping and chipping and chipping the epoxy barrier coat off of their entire red- rusting-iron keel. And this was a freshwater boat! They found grinding and sanding even slower. I'm not sure what they will do to it next, but it made me feel a lot better about my annoying CC smile ... a small thing in comparison. and if anyone else still has the original 1980 packing gland hose, let me strongly recommend not leaving home with it. Just replaced mine since I was putting the engine back in, and the condition of the old hose and the CC fiberglass job connecting the stern tube to the hull... was more than a bit scary (and I even considered leaving well enough alone - sure glad I decided to replace and then also epoxy repair around the stern tube).

Jake Unless the holding tank is located on same side as the fridge this will not work. This list will get progessively worse as the day goes on ...

But seriously, equipment added can cause balance problems. Be sure of your measurements, then move something to balance things out. Batteries are heavy and not too difficult to move, if you have another location to port where they might fit.

The basic tanks are nicely placed to balance each other with the exception of the holding tank which is pretty far to starboard. I assume that would be offset by loading in the galley (port). The prior owner did add a large inverter (about 50 lbs) and two additional batteries (150 lbs) both pretty far outboard. So before I go nuts moving batteries or installing weights, is the list really caused by the additional 200lbs outboard or is this more likely the keel? Any thoughts?

Re: Stus-List Beneteau list on a newer CC - ugh
Put a 200 pound person on the port rail, if it levels the boat, you have your answer. If not, you have a bigger problem.

Re: Stus-List Beneteau list on a newer CC - ugh
How are you determining the list? If the waterline says she's listing is the water line true? Does a level on the cockpit sole indicate a list? Is your mast plumb side to side? that said, an extra 200 pounds outboard would make a difference on my 35MKII whcih displaces about 13000 lbs on a 10'6 beam: just moving my pressure hot water tank lower and closer to center line was noticebale so it could be the extra 200 lbs outboard in your case On Sun, Nov 3, 2013 at 11:26 AM, j...@svpaws.net j...@svpaws.net wrote: So in a near empty boat, my CC 121 (40') has a pretty significant list to starboard.
