Re: Stus-List 1983 C&C 35 mark 3 new purchase

If you look at any recent CatBenHun in the 34-36 foot range, any version of the C&C 35 is going to seem quite small and cramped. Any of the 35s will of course sail 10x better, but that does not always matter to some people. Warning - the "have to have it" aft double bunk under the cockpit is a

I think her biggest gripe is that it's not a Tartan 40 or better yet a trawler. - Original Message - From: "G Collins via CnC-List" To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Cc: "G Collins" Sent: Friday, August 25, 2017 7:41:43 AM Subject: Re: Stus-List 1983 C&C 35 mark 3 new purchase My wife

Re: Stus-List 1983 C&C 35 mark 3 new purchase

I owned a C&C 24, 29-2 and 27-5. I just sold my 27-5 and bought a Hunter 37.5 1993 with a friend. We wanted a boat that had two private berths. He is more of a cruiser and I like a performance boat. We looked at a number of boats. My first choice was a Tartan 372 but we compromised on the

Re: Stus-List 1983 C&C 35 mark 3 new purchase

I have to agree with Joe about the interior volume of the CatBenHun boats. Wide beam carried well aft on the newer designs makes for lots of interior room. Much more than on any of the boats designed in the 1980s. That said, none of the newer Catalinas or Hunters I've been aboard (which include

Wow...almost missed a chance to brag about my boat?!! I've been trying to cruise the Grand Traverse area of Lake Michigan, and got weathered in. Heading to Charlevoix tomorrow, then hopefully home to St Ignace. Great week if it were October!! My 35-3 is a 1985, and just love the boat. Never a

Re: Stus-List 1983 C&C 35 mark 3 new purchase

I agree with Rick's comments.  We were out on a friend's Catalina 42 last weekend, and while it was clearly voluminous down below, the lack of handholds was very noticeable.  His is probably a late-80s, early 90's boat.  That said, I wasn't going to say anything... :)   Bruce Whitmore (847) 4

Re: Stus-List 1983 C&C 35 mark 3 new purchase

One worthwhile addition to a 35/3: I ran a piece of 1 inch SS tubing from the mast back to the pole that is forward of the steps using bimini fittings so there was a centerline handrail from the galley to the mast. Joel On Fri, Aug 25, 2017 at 1:55 PM, Bruce Whitmore via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-

This forum is awesome. Thanks everyone for weighing in on the 83 mk3 purchase. Your posts have lessened my concerns and we hope to be living aboard in a week. Fingers crossed on the survey. I hope all goes well for the other fellow currently buying a mk3 too. -Dan Sent from my iPhone _

Re: Stus-List 1983 C&C 35 mark 3 new purchase

A couple of years ago I was boat shopping for a 35-3 and looked at several; fell in love with every one of them; but for one thing or another, a deal never happened, then I came upon a 37 in Newburyport MA and things clicked; so now I consider that I have a "big" 35-3...! Sent from my iPhone >

Re: Stus-List wheel squeak

I had the rudder out of my '83 29-2 last winter. The only metal bushing/bearing is where the post comes thru the cockpit sole. There was only minimal wear on mine so I didn't replace it. The fit between the rudder post and fibreglass rudder tube is tight and there is no stuffing box like on the pr

Re: Stus-List Recommended Upholsterer for C&C35 Mark1?

If you’re replacing settee cushions, make sure whoever you get takes actual measurements. I had an upholsterer make new cushions for my boat, and he used the old cushions as templates. When the new cushions were installed, I discovered that they (and the old cushions) were undersized. From: T

Hi All, I'm replacing portlights with VHB taped acrylic. The PO sealed with Sudbury Elastomeric Sealant (silicon + polyurethane formulation) and screws through the acrylic, which I've taken off using a multi-tool scraper. The sealant remains a mess -- the heat/friction from the tool seemed to so
