A question for your collective wisdom:
I am scoping out upgrading my stock 55A alternator to a 100A Balmar, and
related upgrades to the controls. I had a very productive discussion with Rod
Collins at Compass Marine (mainesail), and we worked out the details.
Unfortunately he's booked out throug

Here are a couple of considerations both ways (and both boat interiors look
great)…
We recently switched from a C&C 34 (table similar to C&C 30), to a Sabre 38

the bulkhead. That is now our standard configurati

My C&C 34 is for sale, with an asking price of $25,000 – but I am flexible (I

Guys,
I’ve put my C&C 34 on the market to sell. We’re looking to move up in size to a
38.
Here’s the listing – with East Coast Yacht Sales in Camden ME. The asking
price is priced to sell, and is reflective of recent transactions for similar
vintage C&C 34s.

You are looking for more detail than in Eldridge? That worked fine for me.

Tom,
Maybe stating the obvious, but I would try drilling a test hole in a piece of
scrap plywood, to test out getting a snug fit. It's not easy to change the size
of the hole once drilled :-)

Other listers seem generally happy with a roll-up and a 2HP, but let me give
you contrarian advice.
When I bought my C&C 34 about 7 years ago to sail on those same waters

and a 2HP Honda. Crew was me, my wife, a

I rented an EPIRB from BoatUS a couple of years ago. It was easy. The EPIRB
came FedEx, and I mailed it back similarly when I was done.

A question to consider is what you want the step for - getting out of the
water, or for a dinghy.
On our C&C 34, we use an Esdon boarding step that we clip to the toe-rail at

You can get a lead paint test kit for $10 in Home Depot etc. That will answer

I will echo the feedback below from Martin.
We had a Honda 2HP, bought expressly because it was light enough to easily lift
on and off. However, it just was not powerful enough if we found ourselves in
rough water / strong wind / current / exposed mooring.
I switched to a Tohatsu 6HP, and h

It looks like I'll need to replace the holding tank on my 1982 C&C 34 - weeping
crack in the sidewall at the discharge penetration (creating smelly mess in the

winter project will be to replace the tank, and the hoses
