Re: Stus-List Another boat

May thru October was about the same as Michigan, and Mid-April to mid-October was the norm in Philly. I much prefer it down here when you only haul for maintenance or when you need a bottom job - about every 3 or 4 years with good bottom paint. The club I belonged to in Philly had an old travel

Re: Stus-List head replacement

The heads on both of my mid-70s C&Cs were installed with ¼” or 5/16ths” stainless hanger bolts. A hanger bolt is sort of like a threaded rod that is threaded like a machine screw (bolt) on one end and like a lag screw on the other. The material under the platform on which the head sits is ¾” plywoo

At Mark's club (and mine) we do not have a travel lift. So the options are either: 1) use jackstands and go in/out with the big crane 2) buy a cradle, and be able to move with the cradle lift and launch with the club crane You have to remember also that where we are a bit further north than y

Re: Stus-List Another boat

I wouldn't factor the cost of a cradle into the deal. As a matter of practicality, why do you need one? Does the yard where you would lay up the boat for the winter give you a substantial discount for not using their cradle or stands? Do you belong to a club that requires you to provide a cradle o

Dennis, Do you have the link for the 24?  My wife thinks we should step down; I'm not so sure. I love my 30, find it quite roomy and sails just like you think it should; I believe the phrase is "good reflexes." I've quelled the murmurings a bit by going to a 140% genoa instead of the 160 when it

Excellent assessment, Danny. There's a Pearson 31 in my marina that sits idle.  I steered a friend of mine looking for a boat to the owner.  The guy was receptive to selling but his price was waaay out of line.  Chatting with the owner later, he told me he had just put a $4000 bottom job on it

I think Danny's assessment of broker vs owner reflects my experience exactly. In my case, the broker I was dealing with primarily dealt with brand new boats and more recent models.
